Bird ReTweet, Day 3

So, I should start off by saying that on day 2 a freak wave came up while me and my siblings were out playing in the ocean and carried off all of our things and tried to take a kid or two with it.  Everything was retrieved and moved to higher ground, but my beloved camera was a casualty of the event and so the rest of the reunion pictures were taken exclusively by Barb and Athena while my camera sat in a bag of rice (I should also note that many of the pictures I shared previously were also taken by them).
