The extended family had all been invited to a celebratory wedding lunch of a young couple at beautiful Pinecrest Gardens in Miami. Apparently this was the location of the former Parrot Jungle attraction. My nephew's baby made her appearance at this event. It was beyond exciting taking photos with her, all the doting relatives descending on the sweet baby.
After the lunch, some of us took a walk through the gardens. Here is a video of some turtles. Of course there were mosquitoes given the heat and humidity.
The baby's grandparents had planned a 200 person dinner party that evening in honour of their grandchild. My cousins from both sides of the family were in attendance. Everyone seemed to be in the mood for a fun reunion. It was so much fun catching up with everyone, we hadn't seen some relatives in years.After the lunch, some of us took a walk through the gardens.
