I realize this is coming somewhat late, but better late than never, correct? Meghan and I traveled down to be with our families in California. We pulled a 50/50 with ‘em. We spent Christmas Eve Eve with my family, and have a big traditional get-together. It was fun to see all the siblings. Now with everyone off living their own lives, it’s very difficult to get us all back together. We managed a few times, and it was fun. I love my family.
The 24th we spent with Meghan’s family, then bounced back and forth for the remaining days of vacation, doing various things at eachother’s houses. We went to Knott’s Berry Farm to see my sisters in law perform in the parade. It’s a fun thing to do, but it was really cold there. I’m such a wuss. I love 70 degree weather… We spent New Year’s Eve at my family’s house, and renewed the tradition of firing off the cannon at the stroke of midnight. (give or take a minute…) I wish I had a photo of that, but alas, no photos were taken. Wat great fun.
My brother got a Wii Fit for Christmas. Can I just tell you how fun it is? That thing provided hours of entertainment, although most people only like to play the ski jump game. I took first place in Hula-Hooping and Super Hula-Hooping. My wife took first place for the Ski Jump, and My mom was just entertaining to watch… Love ya.
I was over at my parents house one day with nothing of particular importance to be doing, and asked my dad what a can was on the shelf. It was sterno, which brought back memories of yore when we would play with a model steam engine which we would run using sterno. This prompted me to ask if we had ever fixed it when it had broken 10 years prior, which it hadn’t, so we decided to pull it out and fix it. It was a fun frivolous project, but yielded the result of a fully functional steam engine. It was a really fun experience.
