2025 Neilson Family Reunion in Ohio - Part II

Tuesday, July 1st:

Happy Canada Day! Eh!

[Andie reading to the kids]

[Cole knows how to make Theo laugh!]

[Tyson always brings the BEST food!]

[Ty does NOT like fireworks]

We had a party at my parents house with the family and some neighbor friends!

I picked out the Pikachu firework, so I'm very happy he performed so well!

[Safely inside where it is quiet]

Wednesday, July 2nd:

A big group of us (thanks again to mom for watching Theo) went rafting down the river. We had multiple kayaks and a large raft. The river was VERY full, so we didn't need to paddle much.

[Brodee is going to catch Josh soon!]

We stopped once so the kids could get out and swim in the river. After that Cole just wanted to hang onto the back of the kayaks. We called him the "Barna-Cole" - get it?! Like barnacle?! 

Thursday, July 3rd:

We had a very hot, but fun day at King's Island! Thanks to Missy and Tysons season passes we were able to get in 30 minutes early!

[Luke and Ryan were too tall for four rides!]

We went on all the big rides and I think we can all agree that Orion was the best (front row baby!) and Flight of Fear was the WORST!

We got meal passes which were worth it because you were able to get a meal every 90 minutes, a snack every 90 minutes, and drinks every 15 minutes!

We shut down the Park at 10:00 PM and watched the fireworks and drone show as we were leaving. Such a fun day!
