Grandma Helen's Birthday #85 (2004)
Our annual beach birthday parties for Grandma Helen began in 2004. She loved the beach from her childhood days in Long Beach. Most of all, she loved to have all the family together once a year on her birthday. We usually gathered at Seacliff State Beach on the Sunday after the Fourth of July weekend.
The picture of the entire group was followed by the Zoe and Mike with Grandma followed by...
...the Shannon clan...
...a few candid shots and one from the photo shop...
...the the Collins clan...
...and some more candid shots...
...and finally, pictures of the girls and boys together...
...and all the grandkids and great grandkids together...
Each year the party would get bigger and better.
