2025 Neilson Family Reunion in Ohio - Part I

Saturday, June 28th:

Packing for a trip with Theo is a lot of work. Luckily, we were driving to Ohio, so we had a bit more room than if we were flying!

We bought a roof cargo box, which helped greatly!


[All ready!]

[Road Trip!]

It took us about 7.5 hours to get to my parents house since we had to stop by Marilyn's Bakery to get SEVEN pies, Chick-fil-A for lunch, and the Firework store.








[Diaper change in the Firework store parking lot]


Luckily, Brodee was visiting his stepdad, Layne, in Utah for the summer. So we had Layne bring Brodee to Luke and Andie and they all flew to Ohio together. Thanks again to everyone for the coordination! 


After we arrived at my parents house we got unpacked and then I went to pick up Luke, Andie, Porter, Kenna, and Brodee at the airport. It's gonna be a great week!

Trying to get pictures of kids is a lot of fun!

[Love Haydens face!]


That afternoon most of the family (minus mom, Theo, Ty, and Hayden) went to the Reds game at Great American Ball Park.



It was HOT, but we had great seats in the shade.




We had an amazing rally at the end and the Reds won!



And I got frozen yogurt in helmets for everyone!


Ryan, Tyson, and Josh had to try some of the hot sauce. They seemed pretty impressed! 



Monday, June 30th:

Missy and I took Brady, Brodee, Dane, Cole, and Ty to Soak City waterpark. We all had a ton of fun going on all the rides!

Missy had to run home for a few minutes, so I hung out with Ty at the little kid pool. Ty was being very brave and wanted to jump into the water, but I had to catch him!




After Missy got back I went on some bigger rides with Brady, Dane, and Brodee. I went on the Body Slide and it was a blast!
