And My Family Grows

This is the whole family in Florida. We started as just my mom,dad, my sister, and me, in the Holiday Inn. Now we have upgraded to a four bedroom condominum at the Belle Mer. My generous parents treat my family and my sister's family to a relaxing vacation each year.We all share in the cooking of the meals and we get along so well together. My grandparents came with us on many vacations; however they became too feeble to travel with us in the last few years.
I still enjoy waking up early to collect shells. This has been a passion of mine. I now have a large collection of shells that I enjoy looking at from time to time. We love playing in the ocean and feeling the warm sun on our skin. Now our daughters enjoy lying by the pool and checking out the guys.
I am so thankful that our family is so close and we are able to share these memories. The people in this picture are (front row) our daughters, Ashley(16) and Lauryn(20), my nephew Nathan(8). (back row)
