Weekend of Family Fun!

We had so much fun with Brad's family while they were here over the weekend. The weekend started with us all getting together for lunch and Rodizio Grill. I have only been there once before and was skeptical about going again. I am not a huge meat person and the meat I do eat I am kinda picky about. So I stuck strictly to the salad bar and it was tasty! Brad was excited to be able to stuff himself with amazing meats though. Cooper slept for most of the lunch which was nice so we could all eat.

Jack Michael trying to tell Julie where the whip cream is on her face. It was hilarious watching him try to think of how to explain it because she wasn't getting it :)

After lunch we all went to Sugarhouse Park. We spent a few hours there talking, swinging, and playing on the playground.

Michael wanted a turn to push Brad

Don't you just want to squeeze him.

Jack's turn with Uncle Brad

This is what Cooper did the entire time at the park. He was so exhausted from the crazy weekend.

Our little family. I think Cooper is sneezing here.

Bennett is the most photogenic kid ever!

Eating all the yummy taffy we bought


I was worried Coop was cold because it was a little chilly outside

After the park Brad's cousin arranged for all their family to play games, eat pizza and hang out at the church for the evening. It was a lot of fun. The kids ran around and played. The guys played basketball. The mom's took care of the babies :) But we all had a really fun time!

Cooper was actually awake the entire time!

I absolutely LOVE Brad's family. I hate that they all live so far away and we can't do fun family things like this more often. I wish Cooper had his cousins closer. But Brad and his siblings are so close that I am sure we will always continue getting together like this. It was a really great weekend and it sure drained poor little Cooper. He has been so tired ever since. But we are staying home this week so he can get back into our routine. What a fun family weekend that we will always remember!
