4th of July Week - Columbus & St. Louis

We had another combo road trip across the Midwest in early July. Our end goal was St. Louis, in part to attend the second semi-annual Lang family reunion. Usually when we drive through Columbus, we stay one night and head out early the next morning. This time we extended our stay and celebrated the 4th of July with the Yohes!

The family reunion! Amazing for so many reasons. Almost all of my cousins and their kids were there, just missing Rob who lives in Minnesota. The heat broke and it was an amazingly sunny day in the 70's. And it as I look back on this now, it was before we lost two of our beloved Lang boys.

Then a wonderful visit with my oldest and dearest friends (and their kiddos):
