Family Weekend in Avon Park

Nov 2-4, 2007

Weekend

Aunt Phyllis, Uncle Paul and Corrine arrived from Michigan on Friday afternoon on their first visit to Florida, so Aunt Judy planned a family get-together to Welcome them and for a eat and chat fest! And that is exactly what we did - we ate and we talked and we ate and we talked for three days! It was so much fun. Of course some of us had little ones to chase around too, so that helped, but mostly we just got caught up on each other's lives and talked about old times and made some new memories to carry us through until the next time we all get together.

We had Elani with us for the weekend so she kept us entertained and busy too. She loved to be outside and the weather was perfect for just that. We couldn't have asked for better days than this past weekend to welcome Michigan family to Florida.

The three sisters, my Mom, Aunt Judy and Aunt Phyllis and their husbands, Don, Don and Paul were present. Then Rudy, Elani and I were there to represent my Mom's side, Cal & Jess, Jodie, Mike, Kahli and Kadence (Cal's grand-daughters), Shanta, Mark, Kayla and Allyne, Don, Cheri and his two daughters, Nikki and Kadi were there (they all live in the area were Aunt Judy &Uncle Don's kids), Aunt Phyllis, Uncle Paul and Corrine. Aunt Phyllis and Uncle Paul also have three boys and their families, but they were still back in Michigan.

It was a good time for all and it is always good to see everyone together again. Times like these always produce good food and lots of memories to keep us going until we get all together again somewhere.

Aunt Phyllis, Uncle Paul & Corrine were now heading to the west coast side of Florida to see more of Florida and to spend some time at my Mom's house before completing their vacation trip in our fair state.

Next weekend, Rudy and I are going again with our friends, the Florida Outdoor Club camping in northern Florida. It is always a quiet relaxing weekend. Except Rudy will be cooking burgers for us all for our first fund-raiser, so he will be busy.....

See ya on the Road!
