Gandia, Spain- family reunion!!!

Surprisingly, the beach there was very nice. And we thought there could be no good beach outside of Hawaii! We had two good afternoons at the beach, the second day with just Noah. We had such fun with him!
















Noah's beloved blanket, turned into do-rag- compliments of Daddy! This is outside of the Lladro factory where we bought a rather large statue of the Christus, but we did manage to get it home safe and sound.















As Paul remarked, "Sean had more clothes on than anyone else at the beach". That's not saying too much, since many of the women were topless!











Robyn and Paul fixed a Spanish feast for us our first night there. The best food we had in Spain!















One of our many playground breaks. Actually, this was at a park where we had a picnic/barbeque with a family Paul knew from his mission. They were such a wonderful family and we all enjoyed our time that night.

Spain- Ola!!!

My personal favorite touristy thing in Barcelona was Goudi's Sacrada Familia. The Cathedral was surprisingly beautiful inside and is almost finished! It is designed to look like a forest inside. the outside has many detailed images such as the nativity, healings, etc.











We tried to enter the Madrid temple, but it was closed for cleaning, so we just saw the outside and the MTC. We even took a picture of Brian's picture when he was there! The grounds are very peaceful.





















This is part of the scaffolded exterior of the Sagrada Familia.


















Beautiful garden in front of the Royal Palace in Madrid.

The Huff's Summer Extravaganza

We definitely had a summer to remember! The bad thing is that we did so many things and went so many places, that I am already forgetting! I thought I would post a few highlights of each location so I'll start with Boston. Lennie had to attend a seminar at Harvard Business School, his Alma Mater, so we happily began our trip there (after our short layover in Denver where we got to have a nice, short visit with Heather, Doug and Caitlin). It was great to stay with his college roomie, Kerry Hopkins, and to see our first apartment, etc. It was a great way to begin our trip- going back in time to basically "where it really all began for the Huffs".

The Old Gray Mare Graduates!!

Yup, it finally happened. I finished my Master's degree on Saturday. No more waking up at 4 am to work on assignments or read articles! I now have a master's degree from the American College of Education in Chicago. Since I would rather be in Europe than Chicago the end of June, I just threw on Lennie's graduation robe and we had a quiet celebration. We were so busy that we didn't have time to properly celebrate. Vacation is coming up, so that will work just fine. I"m glad I did it, but also glad it's behind me now.

Deja Vu!

What a way to celebrate Mother's Day!! Does this remind you of anything? This is what it looked like at about 1:00 p.m. this afternoon. We spent our afternoon digging ditches, hauling sandbags and doing everything we could to keep water from our house. Fortunately, the rain lightened up in the middle of the afternoon, so hopefully we won't get flooded again.
We have some ladies staying with us this week who sing in a Sweet Adelines Barbershop Show Chorus. When they saw this scene they said, "Let's get a boat and sail on Lake Huff!" Of course, they didn't realize that scenes like this make us paranoid.

35 Years!!!

On Saturday, May 7, we celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary. It's hard to believe that it's been 35 years, but Adam is 33 and Robyn is 31, so it makes sense that we would have been married for 35 years. The above picture was taken just last Sunday, May 1. Not bad, but we definitely don't look like we're 23 and 21 anymore. To add a little nostalgia, we're sharing some pictures from our wedding day, as well as three pictures from before our wedding. It's been a great 35 years. We've had our ups and downs, but we've had some great adventures, we've got five great children, three sons and daughters-in-law and five grandchildren, with more on the way. And, we're still in love.

The beautiful bride in the Flandro's backyard on Hillfield Road. It looks a little different now.

Aren't those 70's clothes and hairstyles great? Oh, for the good old days!

We love this picture of Bonnie with her bouquet.

The dashing couple.

These pictures are before our wedding. Bonnie is sitting down in the Sacred Grove by Palmyra, New York.

One of my favorite pictures of Bonnie: sitting on a dinosaur in a park in Washington, D.C.
