One Big Happy Family
Since I arrived in Florida on Friday afternoon, I've been down to Ft. Myers and up to Ocala, getting to see lots of relatives that I haven't seen in a long time. It's been great to be with everyone again. Saturday night was the "Sweet 16" party for one of my cousin's daughters. It was a huge get-together bringing relatives from New York and all-over Florida for the event.
Me with my cousin and his 2 kids.....somehow, we all sorta matched!
Me with my "sister" and her 2 girls. The one in blue - Terrina - was the birthday girl.
Tuesday night, despite stormy weather, we drove up to Ocala so I could see where my uncle and his family now live. Ocala is a beautiful area! The drive there was fabulous! We got there before the food was off the grill so we just hung out and played pool and Monopoly. I haven't played Monopoly for awhile - we used to always play it when all the cousins would get together, so it was a lot of fun!

During dinner, the little smarty pants blurted out what could've been a Minute Maid commercial. It was so cute!
14 of the 24 cousins were at the party...that's not counting spouses or kids!
