This past weekend we were in Des Moines for the Bormann family reunion. They usually have a reunion every 5-7 years. I have met most of the Bormann side but we don't see them that often so it was fun day together!
We went to Owatonna on Friday night and stayed with Nana & Papa. We had to be in Des Moines by 12:00 on Saturday and that would have been an early morning and a long car ride so we decided to break up the trip. Papa's always good for donuts in the morning, then it was a quick story and we were on our way to Des Moines!
We stopped at the mall when we got to Des Moines as we got there a few minutes early. It had a play area for the kids. It was perfect to burn off a little energy from being in the car!
One of Ryan's cousins hosted the reunion at their house which was so nice. The weather held off until around 4:00 and then it rained the rest of the afternoon/evening. I think all but one of Ryan's cousins was there and I'm guessing there were around 50 people there?? Uncle Eric & Auntie Heather came from Chicago so it's always a treat when they are in town since we don't get to see them as often.
The kids did great! Madelyn had a blast playing with some of Ryan's cousin's kid's kids! Jack ran around the whole afternoon and then crashed for about 45 minutes in the late afternoon. We left the reunion at 8:15 so it was a full day. The kids were exhausted…..and so was I!
We stayed at a hotel in Des Moines and it worked out well that all our rooms were close to each other so the adults could hang out after the kids went to bed. Madelyn asked to go to bed around 9:45….you know she's tired when she asks to go to bed! I don't think she's ever asked to go to bed before! Uncle Marc and Aunt Jody weren't able to stay as they had to get back to the farm. We missed them!
Sunday morning we had breakfast outside on the patio, took a few pictures and then we all took off for home. It was such a fun weekend! So blessed to be part of the Bormann family!
