Cincotta Family Cuzzie Get Together

I've never been really close to any of my cousins...whatever circumstances (crazy parents, distance, et al). But as I age I have chosen to be intentional about spending time with my cousins. Nate and I had a great time reminiscing, playing tippy cups and laughing so hard our cheeks hurt. Hopefully I will have a chance to spend some quality with my Oklahoma cousins sometime in the near future.

Here are some pics from the Cincotta Cuzzie Get Together (obviously not everyone could make it...this is only about 1/3 of the crew...but the 1/3 that is the most fun!)

May 18th- June 27th

our first boat- it's a 1978 and smells a bit like 1978. It is a really fun toy to have, it takes some work, but it's worth it!
