A Day Spent with Family

Last weekend 

we had the privilege of hanging out with my family.

My grandma,

my aunts, uncles and cousins

were all able to be together and spend the afternoon at the beach.

We enjoyed each others company,

the sunshine,

baby kisses, 

trying new things like paddle boards and shaved ice.

Sometimes we allow months to go by

without seeing one another.

Time gets away on us too quickly.

I need to a better job

of not letting that happen!

We are a small clan

and its still relatively easy to gather in one place.
