Anthony was only six weeks old when we made our first
visit in May of 2001.
Anthony
and Grandma when he was a year old visit the flamingos again, this
time in May 2002.
Our next visit
in October of 2001
He was 6 months old and it included a special kiss.
Anthony was 2 1/2 on this visit in November of 2003 and
this time we included 6 week old brother Nathan in the tradition.
It was filled with smiles and of course, a big kiss.
In November of 2004 Anthony was 3
1/2 on this visit and Nathan just over a year. Again, we shared another
special kiss.
Anthony was 4 1/2 on
this visit in September of 2005 and Nathan was celebrating his
2nd birthday. Anthony has already reminded me that new brother Trevor
needs to meet the "mingos".
Introducing
Trevor at 9 months old to the Mingo's in November of 2006.
It's quite a story to tell. Anthony was 5 1/2 on this visit and Nathan
was 3. And of course, that special kiss again.
The next trip was in March of 2009.
This time to celebrate Trevor's 3rd birthday. Anthony was
almost 8 then and Nathan is 5. We introduced baby Timothy
to the Mingo's, Timothy, on this "Mingo visit" too. He arrived
on 1-29-09. Grandpa Turtle came along too for this visit.
In November of 2007 the boys and
I went to visit "my Mingos" again...and this time I was treated to
a special double kiss.
