Longboat Key's new youngest resident born this summer

This fall, Longboat Key will welcome back the usual snowbirds, but also one of the island’s youngest new residents. 

Born on Aug. 1 in Illinois, Brynn Rosemary Slansky weighed 7 pounds 13 ounces. She was welcomed to the family by her mother Elise Kidd Slansky, her father Blake Slansky and 2-year-old sister Blaire.

About a month old now, baby Brynn is doing great and her sister Blaire is working on being a big sister. Elise Kidd Slansky said she and the family are looking forward to returning to Longboat Key in a couple of months and possibly taking the title of youngest Key resident — at least for a little while.
