Florida Vacation




We recently traveled to Jacksonville, FL for the Burch-Gregg Family Reunion. We had many adventures flying there and back with all 6 of us! We flew on Jonah's actual birthday - July 14 - we had a small celebration before we left and also celebrated with delicious cupcakes the day after we arrived. We had a wonderful time while we were there visiting with relatives and getting to know some new family members. We made many trips to the beach and pool and enjoyed visiting with all of the family (see photo below).














The highlight of the trip was the "Light Saber Dinner Dance" - we all dressed up in Star Wars related costumes and had a blast. Tom was Jabba, Debbie was Padme, Jack was a Clone Trooper, Adam was Darth Vader, Jonah was Yoda, and Catherine was a Jawa. Many friends loned us costumes, masks & light sabers to make our outfits possible. See what you think of the photos:


















Here's Catherine after the party dressing up with a hat - she loves to wear hats!












Now we're preparing for Tom & Jack's birthday's, a visit from more relatives, and a trip to the DC/VA Beach area in the next month before school starts - what a whirlwind!
