It was all about the Patriots' families on their final full day of preparations before Super Bowl 52 in Minneapolis.

The players, coaches and their families took the field at US Bank Stadium on Saturday for pictures, including a team photo.

In the official pool report, Belichick was quoted as praising the families for the sacrifices they make.

"The families go through so much. They sacrifice so much for all of us and the time that we spend away and the strain that a season puts on them," he said. "So it's great to have them all here and it's great to give them an opportunity to be with their sons, daughters, husbands and to bring their family in and take pictures on the field and just kind of enjoy the day. It's a nice event for everybody - the players and families, and the team picture with the kids. Everybody will look back on this."

Other than the photo shoot, Belichick said the Pats kept their Saturday as normal as usual. 

"This afternoon is a normal Saturday for us,” Belichick said. “So it would either be traveling if we were on the road, or if we were home the players would have the afternoon off to relax, get a massage, just catch up on whatever. Then we meet tonight and play tomorrow. We're on as much of a normal routine as we can be on."
