Nonnie has suffered from memory problems for many years and it was so special to witness her joy and to hear her eloquence on her birthday night...

Florida: 95th Birthday Party

Our official celebration for Nonnie's birthday was on a beautiful evening.  Luckily the rain stayed away and we were able to get some professional photos taken before the party.   We had a wonderful dinner and a very special night celebrating.

Prepping for the group photo with all 26 family members.

Florida: Fun With Cousins

There was plenty of fun to be had in Destin with Maya and her cousins.  Maya and Santi loved trying out mini-golf and Maya got to ride her first motorcycle.   We also rented a boat, which was amazing when it wasn't raining.

 Mini-golf!

Santi's turn.

Arcade!

Don't worry.  Maya is quite experienced navigating open waters.  Remember this...and this?
