Cousin Love

From the time we told Sofi that her cousins were going to go to Cherry Hill with her, she wouldn't stop asking. Lucky for us, that day finally arrived when the Ball Fam came to town.

Sadly, I didn't get any pictures, but know that it was awesome and Sof was ecstatic to be able to play with the big kids.

Nothing to do with Cherry Hill, but I saw this fatty one morning walking. I'm still not sure how he got up there.

The same day we went to Cherry Hill ended up being Cow Appreciation Day at Chik-Fil-A. Here's Sof dressed like a cow. She glued those spots on herself.

Nothing brings families together quite like free food.

The party kept going when Sof decided to pick beans in her birthday suit.

They weren't quite sure how they felt about their trip to Costco.

Another day, Grandma & Grandpa Spjute treated everyone to a ride on the Frontrunner to downtown SLC. It was so fun! The stop ended up being right behind Greg's work, and if it wasn't so expensive, we would be riding that little beauty a lot more often.

Sof refusing to pose with her cousins for a pic.

We made it to the Primary Children's Museum and it was so cool! They have this round room where you can watch a 5 min video of Joseph Smith's first vision. Soooooo cool! If you haven't seen it, you need to.

Waiting to life that big stone. She's so strong!

Claire was content to sit on the floor wherever we stopped.

Touching Angel Moroni's feet with special gloves.

Running to Crown Burger.

Even though she was sick and skipped her morning nap, she was a champ!

Sofi loves Beanie babe.

Greg's sister Lindsey's favorite mission companion was in town from Nepal, so we all got together to chat with her. I had to leave early with Claire, but it was fun to be able to meet her.

Cousins!

Cousins in age order. (I had to hold Sofi up because she was having a meltdown. turns out the tendon on her elbow had become dislocated and she was legit crying in pain ... Whoops!)

Festival Day Parade!

We were late and had to park 5 blocks away, but we made it!

We love free fatboys!

We love free capes!

Claire loves Pace bars (and keys!)

Everyone decided to take a break up Farmington canyon to go bum sliding. Sofi was not impressed.

But all was made right when the squirters were brought out.

What a fun-filled week we had. It's always rough when life returns to normal, but it's the mundane that makes family visits so sweet.
