What a an amazing time!
We didn't know what to expect going into this. This was our first reunion.
We were humbled. Us having 2 boys with Down syndrome is no big deal compared to some of the families we met. We were blown away by how some people live so sacrificially, giving everything to the Lord and allowing Him to use them in BIG ways.
We were encouraged. Our family might be very different from other families in our town, but we are not alone. There is this huge support network that is totally available and so approachable, and we don't have to wait until the yearly reunion. Thanks to social media, we are only a click away.
We had fun! The boys loved Jellystone at Mammoth Cave. They used the pool, playground, jumping pillow, and miniature golf. It was so cool to see them interact and have fun with the other kids. We had fun talking and learning about other families' stories.
We hope to go again next year!
Our two cuties meeting Yogi!
Fri nite supper
Even little boys get tired sometimes :)
Saturday morning cave tour at
Mammoth Cave National Park
Just a short walk to the pool and splash park
And the jumping pillow was in our front yard
So nice how older kids played and helped our boys
Sat nite supper- Andrew and I are looking a little worn out. It's hard work having fun all day!
We got to meet Andrea, the founder of Reece's Rainbow, and her son Reece! What a privilege and honor. Her love for all these kiddos is so evident.
I love this photo!
Sun morning church service
Boys in their Reece's Rainbow tshirts
Last time on the jumping pillow, but I think the boys were worn out. Not much jumping...I guess all good things must come to an end.
What we didn't get photos of were the boys swimming on Saturday. Ben can now swim with his life vest! Before he was scared to go in water past his waist. He had so much fun! And Jonah is just a fish. He never stops doing his weird version of the breast stroke!
So thankful the Lord blessed us with this amazing weekend!
