RE: Family Fun Over the Holiday Break

That promise to not let decades pass again really lands, especially with it falling right around your dad’s date. Also, respect for taking the cornhole crown off a hot streak player and defending it twice, that title needs a little trophy on the mantel. Think this becomes a yearly tradition now?

Yes easier now it seems to plan again. Haha funny thing is my two sisters compete for a traveling Uno trophy every so often. I think it may turn into a more frequent event especially since all of our children have grown up.

A traveling Uno trophy is perfect bragging rights. With the kids grown, it’s way easier to line up calendars, so maybe lock in a summer and fall meetup. Let the current champ pick a goofy house rule for the next game to keep it spicy. Feels like this is turning into a new family era.

Well the hopes of meeting up continuously are certainly there. We have a group text set up which we keep busy on. The next adventure is brothers visiting here. They are thinking of driving here. One brother has a fear of flying were about 1400 miles apart

Love that the group text is buzzing. A 1400 mile drive can turn into a mini adventure if they break it up, pick a scenic route, and queue a playlist or a few podcasts. It also eases things for the brother who hates flying, and they will roll in with stories instead of stress. If time is tight, mixing a long drive with a train leg could be a nice middle ground.
