The Great Campfire of 2011

VIDEO #352

Pacific Northwest Camping Sounds

Rebar and family took the VW and headed for the woods to show the young one what life is all about. But when they realize they forgot just about everything for the outing, will the simple beauty of mother nature be enough to keep them from heading back early? No one knows......

Holidays bring out the best of us and Gringo couldn't be happier with all the great family visiting. Put on a sombrero and show them pearly whites!

Merry Christmas

VIDEO #269

Song - "Jingle Bells" remix by Robbie Hardkiss

I would have loved to spend more time with the video today but spending time with family and friends is what this day is all about... the other 364 days...... well, is a whole different beast dedicated to my virtual humans. Any who, have yourself a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Killer Kwanzaa, etc!

Goodbye Frank

VIDEO #221
Song - "When I Look Into Your Eyes" by Firehouse
Frank has been a big part of the family for the last couple weeks and it was a great pleasure to have him for as long as we did. The boss insisted in boxing him up for the year so I found peace in it and came to terms. Frank is a good, if not great, friend. Until next year buddy. I love you.

Pleasant, Unpleasant: The Ocean

Great Sounds of the Pacific Ocean

Now, I couldn't really hear what the family at the beach was talking about so I thought I would create a couple scenarios. I think it's possible each version took place verbatim, humans are super predictable.

We're All So Tall

VIDEO #166

Songs - "I Wish I Was A Little Bit Taller" by Lil Troy and "Tall Drink of Water" by Kevin Fowler

It's a family tradition to measure up to the relatives and see where you stand at my grandma's house in Minneapolis. I think the earliest measurement I saw was from 1964 and just the other day we marked the little ones for their first time.

We Are Family

VIDEO #166

Song - "We Are Family" by Sister Sledge

It was a great trip to Minnesota and what a great way to wrap it all up with a family BBQ at Grandmas house? It was quite the day and I'm still smiling from all the good times. Thank you all for being such a loving family. Next BBQ at Katana and Dan's!

House Warming

Song - "Watermelon Crawl" by Tracy Byrd

It took a bit of time but the day came and now has passed, passed and written, now permanently written on the internet stone as an awesome time with fantastic people. Thank you all so much for making us feel even more at home and sorry to have left out anyone due to lack of photos/videos. The camera people ate too much vodka infused watermelon, compliments of Chadd. Thanks good buddy!

Manzanita Christmas Vacation

VIDEO #008

Song - "Wave of Mutilation" by The Pixies

Slideshow #001. Photos from the Oregon Coast at Manzanita around Christmas in '09 with family (hence, Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase... we watched it through the window from the hot tub, highly suggest this way to watch all classics).

Stayed at a really great beach house that I would recommend to medium/large groups. Look up the "Seaward Dream" rental and don't forget to invite me.
