Family and Reunion

One day last month we went to the bird store.  While there, I mentioned our hummingbird and her nest and the sales lady got so excited.  She couldn't believe we had a nest in our yard!  I didn't know it was such a big deal.  As we were leaving with our various purchases, she advised me to get pictures of the bird and her nest....."climb up on a ladder if you have to!"
Yeah, well, I'm not actually gonna do that...and our camera isn't good enough to get a really close shot, but I've done my best.  There are little red arrows to show Mom Hummingbird and another to show where the nest is.  We've got a lot of little critters in our yard, but by far the ones we love the best are our hummingbird family!  We have 6 feeders and might get a few more!

 

Next up was our McCay Family Reunion.  We were really happy to gather with all these fine folks - such good people!  As kind of a welcoming committee, Cousin Mike was standing by to show off his heritage tattoo.

 The little ones had a great time with each other and on the playground equipment.
Lots of cousins got to pose for "togetherness" photos.

 Lots of "look alike McCays" hung out and swapped stories.

 

I hope a good time was had by all...there were so many missing - ill or gone - and their presence was still felt.  That's family!
