A New Year / Family Reunion Fun

"Hey all! Have you heard the crickets chirping over here in ErmoldLife? It has been a long time since I was on here. In fact I think it was last January... A few years ago I did a 365 and didn't miss a day then I decided to take a break. It ended up being a longer break than I intended. While I don't plan on blogging every day like I did then, I do plan on being a bit more consistent. I love the idea of having a daily/weekly/monthly log of our lives. It is nothing special to most blog readers but it is for me.

This past week my family had a reunion in sunny Florida in honor of my maternal grandmother's 90th birthday. While many of my extended family were unable to make it, it was a blessing to be part of this momentous celebration with those who could be there. I know my Aunt put a lot of work in to it to make it a wonderful time for my grandmother and for that I am thankful.




On Monday we went to a kids Museum with my parents. Our kiddos had a blast!

Bekah playing at the "beach" in the kids museum. The sand was actually tiny bits of rubber!
Fire fighters in action!

Time to go shopping.


We took a beach day on Tueday. The weather was beautiful! Apparently it was extra warm for this time of year but I wasn't complaining!


Tarpon Springs! A little Greek community in the area that will teach you more about natural sponges than you ever though you wanted to know.

Bernier Family Trivia!
Grandma's 4 daughters and 1 of her 4 sons were able to make it to the reunion this year. The quilt in this picture was made from the shirts from our 10 family reunions ranging from 1988 to 2016
