Fun with the fam

The whole Cooper clan visited our house last week and we had lots of good times. Prior to the visit, we had a play date with all of Jenna's little friends. They played in our very stylish blowup pool all morning long (at least until I fed them some mac and cheese).

Mom, Dad, David, Joel and Megan all came to visit us this past week. We had excellent fun, played lots of games and even got to see Joel's new Reclamation game. He seems like a pro game designer!

The brothers (this is how Erik refers to them) also had good uncle time with Jenna. I snapped a picture of Joel reading to Jenna. He seemed really into the book :). Of course we went to Graeters twice in the week they were here. That was a treat :). One can never have too much ice cream.

Fortunately we played Railroad Tycoon twice and I was victorious both times. Unfortunately, I was often sick and just had to lay on the couch. That's what I did today - ALL DAY until I realized I had a craving for grilled cheese and pickles.
I've posted a picture of my grilled cheese, lettuce, pickles, and mayonnaise sandwich. Yum.... It was truly heaven.
