4th of July Weekend

 This week, Jason and I braved our first road trip with Flash and Cooper. It is amazing how much more junk you have to pack with a kid! We went to Waynesboro because my parents had their annual picnic with all of our really good family friends and all of their kids. It was a great time for everyone to get to meet Cooper, and the doctor said he could go in the pool too, although he probably wouldn't like it. It was so much fun to see everyone and see all of the kids running around and playing in the pool. I am sure Cooper will be that big before we know it. It was definitely a full house with about 20 people and 2 dogs. Bekah and Doug brought their new addition to their family. They just got a new golden puppy named Sugar. She is so cute and so sweet. Flash was super excited to have a little friend to play with too. Cooper and Flash both got tons of attention and were exhausted after our trip and were both fantastic travelers. We survived our first road trip with a baby and the only think we forgot was the receiver to the monitor! Good thing we were all staying in one room! 

 My dad found Cooper a turtle wet suit that has a hood with eyes on it. Ridiculous! Of course he had to wear it! It's probably going to be one of those outfits that he might hate us for when he is a teenager, but oh well!

LOVE IT!

Angry baby!

Family picture after his swim. Not a happy camper! We are also obviously new parents who haven't seen the sun in a while! Sheesh!

 All the kids playing with Doug. I think Doug was tired after the party too.

 Happy 4th of July!

I think Cooper was done with family pictures.

First family picture with all 4 of us. We will definitely have to try again because we have a crying baby and a dog with ADHD. Too many that won't cooperate now for photos.
