Miami Trip - Happy 90th Big G!!!

The first weekend of June we flew cross country to Miami, to visit the Day's and celebrate Magi's (aka Big G, Zach's great-grandmother) 90th birthday. Kevin, Jo, Ian and Connor made the trip, too, so the whole clan was there.



Magi is an amazing painter. Pat had a photo of one of her
paintings scanned and "printed" on her birthday cake. What a treat!
(pun intended)




It was HOT and HUMID in Miami. It took us all a day or so to
adjust. Wearing the least amount of clothes possible helped.




The boys are playing with Zach's "story reader" toy. A hand-me-down
that has proven to be a hit wherever we take it.




Even Conner had to stop his climbing to give it a whirl.




Great-grandpa John giving Zach a ZRRRBRRRT!!!



Whew!
