5 - Memories

Day 05 - A picture of you and your favorite memory

This one was particularly difficult for me because I have too many favorite memories, and because I don't have a ton of pictures on this computer, so that limited my options. Therefore, I selected two memories!

This handsome fellow is my brother Blake. That is his camera face... don't ask. Anyways, he is in the process of filling glass bottles with home-made rootbeer. Now, this was my mom's project, which she started because her dad (my grandpa) used to make home-made rootbeer with yeast, then let them ferment in a bottle to get some carbonation. I don't know if you can see the stack of bottles on the counter next to Mitchell. However, this particular batch had just a little too much kick. Anyways, a couple of days later I'm sitting in my room in the basement minding my own bussiness when I hear an explosion. Turns out too much carbonation had built up in the bottle, and it had exploded! I think two or three of them exploded before we could get them under control. Turns out they all tasted awful, and they were probably borderline alcoholic. Therefore, instead of drinking them, we took them outside and popped the corks off where they exploded like champagne!

Second memory: Me, Blake, and Mitchell at Disneyland, CA. My family is lucky enough to be able to go to Disneyland quite often. I just selected a random disney picture. However, I love these trips! I spend the entire day with these fellows, and we all like to spend the day in Disneyland on Indiana Jones and Space mountain. The food is way too expensive, but it's also delicious. Then we stay until close and ride the tea cup ride until we are nearly sick because there is no one in line at that time of night. These trips usually include an outing to Newport beach, which I love, and I more often than not am sunburnt by the end of the trip. Seriously, we have so much fun! Is it summer yet?
