Art Show

Today was the student art show and Tripp spent the day with me at work!

He loved hanging with the big kids.

He ran up & down the ramp all day long!

Checking out some animations with my car pool buddy, John.

We spent allot of time in the art computer lab today. We had all of the animations playing on the monitors and Tripp was in cartoon heaven!! He would run from one computer to the next, checking out the animations and squealling with excitement.

These are his 2 favorites -

Pencil

Green Monster

My fellow art teacher, April, brought her daughter to the show too!

Tripp & Talia browsing through the sculpture room.

Tripp's new wheels.

One of my students gave Tripp a super cool hand-me-down - a dirt bike tricycle. It has a hand break and gold rims.

Taking his girl Talia for a spin.

Hugs

Playing ball with P.E teacher & friend, Marissa - Hey! Great Name!

Another fellow art teacher, Denise, brought in this giant moose for napping and cuddling!

We are performing a scene from Alice in Wonderland for my Theatre Design class. The toy tea pot set was stored in my office and Tripp discovered it. He then found an old VHS tape holder from before I worked at GHS and the school had an analog video editing program......old stuff, and sorted the plates in the tape slots!

Relaxing after a fun day!

The Drive - In

Last night we went to the Mansfield Drive- In ! We are so lucky to have one of the last Drive - In Movie Theaters in the USA. And it is family owned and operated, which helps create a great atmosphere. The drive in is our summer date spot. We have always loved the outdoor summer movies and discovered a new appreciation for them after Tripp was born. We realized......We can still go to the movies!
It is a big hit with the all of the families and many gather there early in the evening to claim a prime spot and tailgate. Also, it's a double feature - 2 movies for the price of 1! (If you can stay awake that long)

Last night we went to see Indiana Jones with our friends Bill & Gina.

After dinner it was time to swing at the movie theatre's playground.

Then, change into Jammies and some dump truck fun!

And, Peek - a - boo with Gina!

9pm....sun is down....time to cozy up in the back of the van......movie time!!!

Indiana Jones was a great time, next we moved the van to see "Forgetting Sarah Marshall". Not so good. Tripp passed out during the first 10 minutes of Indi, and I joined him after the first ten minutes of Sarah Marshall.

Cirque Du Sol-Tripp

Daycare Shenanigans

He likes to be on top of the race car table......

and the dismount!
He loves being outside and going to the park
Climbing.....
and swinging

Resolution # 3

Resolution #3 - Be more active

The Copley's have a long list of New Year's Resolutions and #3 is a very enjoyable way to stay healthy!

Saturday was the last day of Baby Swimming lessons and Daddy joined us! I think having two of us there to pass him around and play with made the water much more fun.

Tripp is just starting to enjoy the water, so it figures that the lessons are over. Good thing our friends Erin & Lukas have a pool, and so does Grands Capano. This is a very good thing because....... We're going to Cancun at the end of July!!! Woo! Hoo! Grandma & Grandpa Capano are treating us to a Capano family vacation. We can't wait!

So, Tripp needs to get familiar with the water and Mommy and daddy need to shed some pounds!

Last day of swimming.....


with Erin & Lukas.....Circle Time - Sing and Swim


After lunch it was time for Mommy and Daddy's activity - hiking.
We ventured out onto the Nipmuck Trail.

Yup....he's a climber. a rock climber!

We stopped at the top for some exploring and snacks.

While we were out and about Tripp pointed out to us once again that he is fearless!
