Making Memories

Uncle Loren has come to visit. And one thing we can count on when he comes are fun times. He’s the best about taking time to see his nieces and nephews, and not just seeing them, but making memories with them. I try very hard to capture these memories with photos because they are too precious to forget.

Here are some of the things that Loren does to make sure that his simple visits will last for a lifetime.

1. Capture them in pictures.
(Sometimes you have to let your ego go. Loren won’t think this is a very flattering picture of himself. He’s a very good looking guy. But it does show the lengths he’ll go to to capture a moment.):

Come on Nelson, say "Cheese!"

2. Be on the lookout for opportunities:

"You know what that will mean if you throw that snowball? WAR!"

3. Be fully present. Play full out. Tap into the “kid” inside:

"Four, three, two, one ... BLAST OFF!!

4. Take advantage of the little things. Trips to Disney World are not necessary:

"Perfect. Now, you have to make sure to pack the snow real hard ..."

QUESTION: What are some of your fondest memories with your aunts, uncles, grandparents or even special family friends?
