Young Family Runion

Yes, this last Saturday was the Young family runion as Cole likes to call it. We were able to head down to Utah on Friday night and stay with my sister Kelsi and her family in Pleasant View. They moved into a new house a few months ago and Cole got the chance to see it. Liam loves being around his cousins and playing with them. Saturday we headed to Wheeler Farms in Salt Lake and met up with Cole's relatives on the Young side. I was reintroduced to some I had met when we got married and we both met some "kinfolk" (as one relative kept calling us) we had never met before. We got to see Cole's Great Uncle David, who is the brother of Cole's Grandpa Young. Cole was amazed at how much his Uncle David reminded him of his Grandpa. The farm where the reunion was at had geese ponds and a small farm animal petting zoo. Liam loved walking around and seeing the animals.

After we went to the reunion we met up with Cole's former mission companion, James Elton, and his wife Emma and their son Samuel. We had never met Emma or Samuel before so we had a fun time meeting them and catching up with James. After lunch we all went to IKEA and browsed through the massive store. On our way home we stopped to get some gas and just happened to be at the pump right next to Justin and Andrea who were on their way home from Colorado. We couldn't have planned it that well if we had tried! It was fun for us to be able and go on a mini vacation together before school starts again for Cole. Even though it was short we had fun!

Dan and I went to IKEA the other day and spent over 2 hours in there! Isn't it incredible?
