St. Augustine Birthday Celebration! Part 2

Sunday afternoon: Tried our best to get family photos, unfortunately, Carl and Marsha got out the door before we were able to take our group photos (they were in the birthday cake group photo - Mail took the photo, she was helpful and nice!).
Happy Birthday to MANY! With Tristen, Liv, Dylan holding Pearl, Cara, Jesse, Jordan, Justin, AA, Justin, (behind Justin: Madison and Mom Mia), Leaa, Nicole holding Avery.
Justin caught a mangrove snapper fish, he said was good eating but threw it back in the canal. Some question eating fish from the canal due to pollution from yard runoff and septic tanks.
A toast to Nana Joy - May she rest in peace. She was a loving Mother, Step-Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother to our Florida kids!
Nana Joy's wine - a toast to losing her too soon, wishing she was with us today!
The family! Top to bottom: Madison, Mila, Kilee, Liv, Pearl, Avery, Alyzabeth, Dylan and Ginger.
Madison (our niece - first cousin to Leaa and Justin) and Kilee Daughter of Justin and our Granddaughter) - so they are first cousins once removed?
Cara, Nicole, Justing, Leaa and Ford enjoying the waterfront.
I rode back to Leaa's home with Kilee to get our truck, gave Kilee her monthly $100 check (we usually mail to her for college spending money).
Sister and Brother - Mia is in Florida now! Lots of catching up!
The last to leave.....Mia and I walked a short way with Leaa, Jesse and Justin, beautiful day. Jesse carried the Light Yuengling
 beer (gave two away to a couple in a golf cart), Justin carried flowers to Kilee (her younger dance friend, Baylee Holbrook, junior at Palatka HS, was killed by lightning on 09/27/23; Kilee attended her funeral yesterday).
And that was a wrap! Mia, Madison and Mali spent the night. Cleaned up, packed up and left at 10:00 a.m. Monday morning.
