End of Summer Fun

Its always amazing how quickly time flies, especially when your having fun.

Just a few last adventures before school begins

Trips to the bakery for cookies and coffee

 Lunch with friends at Taco Bell

Baseball Games with Band Friends

 Unexpected illnesses 😳

 And Summer homework...
Cooper loved going to Orange Leaf with Momma (purple) Daddy (blue) in Albert (our van)

There is also always time for selfies with Momma

Its been a great summer

Unscheduled Evictions

What better way to celebrate the end of summer then a trip to the pediatric dentist to have not 1 but 2 teeth extracted.
Cooper really knows how to Go Big or Go Home :)

Playing in the waiting room while waiting for his appointment.

A Giant Light Bright

 And shooting hoops

 Each room is equipped with a tv and Netflix (on the ceiling)

 Making himself comfortable with Blank-D and Rufus

 Gassed up and ready to go

 All finished and settling in at home

 Here are the two recently evicted teeth

 and the HUGE cavities that were the culprits for the mouth issues

First appointment complete, two more to go.

Goodbye Vietnam

Homeward Bound

 Just 3 flights and 30 hours to home

A pool day

Finally!!!

Relaxing by the pool

Happy 7th Birthday Cooper

This amazing little boy is 7 years old :)

Birthday snuggles with his sisters and a few gifts

 A special play date with Momma and Daddy at Kid's Planet

 A surprise attack by Cooper

 Cutest little gunman

 All birthday smiles

 And a birthday dinner at his favorite place... Donald's!!!
This boy sure does love his pancakes (and butter)

 Slurping down his big drink

 And finally a party with his friends

 Celebrating with a neighborhood pool party

 One happy boy... an arsenal of weapons to play with.
Why choose one when you can you play with 3

Scooter Adventures

There is no other way to see the city, then drive like the locals.

So we rented a scooter and off we went.

This little beauty took us everywhere we wanted to go.

 To Coffee shops

 And Starbucks 😍

 Beautiful views (and cute photographers)

 Both during the day and at night

Views of the mountains

 and the city (Da Nang)

 Nothing like a selfie with your scooter

 And few of our other favorite views

Nothing bonds a couple more then traveling a foreign country by scooter.

Ba Na Hills

Although a bit touristy (and a very long scooter ride),  the views were beautiful

Riding to the top in a cable car

 Touring the beautiful gardens and landscaping.

Another great day.
