Family Vacation Part One: The Colschen Family Reunion

So the three of us packed our bags and headed up north to Iowa along with Coach, Kay Kay, and Uncle Mike for the Colschen family reunion.  I have to admit that I was a little nervous as it was Austin's first plane ride but just like always he did GREAT!  He slept for the five minutes of take off and the five minutes of landing and was awake the entire flight there!  When we got there Austin got to meet his Great Grandpa Colschen for the first time.  It was very sweet to see them together.  I guess I now know why David was so close to his Grandpa (his Grandpa loved Austin!!).  We saw where Coach grew up (the house he lived in, the church he went to, the library he had to get books from before he could play, and of course the parks that he was responsible for mowing)!  Haha.  The reunion was at a big park called Eagle Point park and Austin played on the playground before the reunion started.  He climbed through tunnels and went down slides.  He loved it!  At the reunion he made a couple friends that he played ball with.  Haha.  What can we say we raised a friendly little guy!  Overall, the reunion was great and best of all we got to see family that we don't get to see all that often.  I am posting a few pictures from the first part of our family vacation!
