Random...from Cooper's visit

A few random pictures from Cooper's visit that don't quite fit in anywhere else...

Brady's Party

Brady wanted a Minute to Win It party for his family party. We planned that for Sunday afternoon, but let him open one of his presents earlier on Sunday.

Pretty excited...

We gave him a laptop for his birthday. We'd already set it up with his email and approved websites. So far it's a pretty huge hit!

For the party, we played seven different games. It was pretty hysterical to watch everyone try to complete each task. In the end, Brady and Brian's team Lucky Stuff came out to be the winners.

Stick to It - One partner tries to catch balls on masking taped hands.

Sticky Situation - Teams try to get balls to stick to peanut butter covered bread:

Suck It Up - Use a straw to suck up 10 M&Ms and drop them in a cup:

Face the Cookie - move the cookie from your forehead into your mouth:

SpudNick - balancing M&Ms on straws stuck in potatoes

Nutstacker - Use chopsticks to stack 10 nuts

Defying Gravity (keeping 3 balloons in the air), Face the Cookie (moving a cookie from forehead into mouth)

Birthday trifle!

Fishing

Brady got a new fishing pole and new tackle at his birthday party and couldn't wait to try it out. We took the kids to the pond for a picnic and some fishing. They each caught a fish, so it was a grand success!

Rudy caught a fish on one of his first casts and was done fishing after that!
