What I Did This Summer

Hola Hola Hola My Beautifuls! BB's feeling a bit nostalgic today and I'm remembering the times I had to write about summer vacation during my school days. Queee? JU SO FONII!!! Yes, I remember back that far.  Besides, I'm currently in Miami, land of the perpetual summer so it's still very valid around here.

Now in between the "big" eventos- the American Latino Heritage Fund Roadtrip, the Oogieloves film debut, the Ford Fusion contest, were the everyday ordinary living life happenings.  Things like -



Birthdays








Graduations




El Dr. from Kinder, PicaPica from VPK


DIL Early Childhood Education


Fairs


La Tata enjoying herself immensely.



Ana Margarita Menendez  

Ok si, not a blood relative of mine, but it sure feels like it!  She played Carmencita on the PBS series Que Pasa USA- a much loved program that was filmed here in Miami.  My friend Carrie described perfectly the way I felt when I met her. Go check out the Tiki Tiki post -   it has videos and everything.

First Day of School





Shopping, Sleepovers and Silliness



La Princesa & El Dr doing groceries w/BB



Cousins playing in Ft. BB and of course pirates HAVE to have mustaches and beards!



Spending a glorious Memorial Day at beautiful Jungle Island thanks to Hispanicize.
.


PicaPica on his first audition, Rinquincaya and his Babushka.



Si, it's been a busy summer for BB.  A summer full of special moments, sacred milestones and precious memories;the "little" things in life that bring us smiles.  But looking back, these are the binding ties of families, and for me that makes them in reality, the true Biggies of our lives.




Babushka Besos a todos.  Cuidensen.



P.S.  Before anyone asks why there are so few pics of my granddaughter
please notice the two I do have are while she's in a stroller/cart. 


It's very hard to take a picture of a lightning bolt.

  7. Those memories with Nana last a lifetime. The Chick remembers those visits to the 99 cent store with my mom. Love the pirates and their facial hair! Not much of a seasonal change in Phoenix either but I hear we might get rain Thursday.

    1. Lifetime memories- that's what one hopes and is always grateful for them. I'm also grateful for your dance w/me hoy. Now do me a favor- go get some galoshes and jump in the middle of a big muddy puddle. Nothing like a good squishy splash to bring the laughs and freedom of yesterday.

      Enjoy the rain- it too has its place. BB2U

    1. Mama Pants!! So happy to see you here! Seems like we have a lot in common huh? Question- do you wear rubber on your feet or your hands to catch your lightening bolt? Don't know about you, but I'm about to resort to the old time fisherman's outfit. Do they only come in yellow?? ; )

    1. Loving this comment! En nombre of my family I thank you. Summer had many wonderful memories, but I agree with you- in North Florida the fall is the most beautiful of all seasons. In Miami- no change.
