Our family loves basketball and so this was a lot of fun. When your kids are young, there are a lot of activities to do together. As they get older it gets harder to find things that you all like to do. I would still love to take them to the Museum of Play but they aren't into that anymore.
So, when we saw that we could get tickets to the game, we decided that it would be something that our family would enjoy doing together.
Where we live, people go all out for high school graduation parties. I've been to some that have been like a wedding reception. AJ graduates next year and we got to thinking about that. He doesn't love parties. I always want to have a big party for him at his birthday and he never lets me. (Thank goodness that Rachel likes parties). Anyway, I was talking to a friend of mine and we were talking about ideas for graduation. She said that she heard about an idea where you take one last family vacation. We all know how hard it is to get everyone together when they are on their own. I loved this idea. We told AJ about the idea and told him that he could choose a place for us all to go together instead of having a party. He liked the idea too. Then when Rachel graduates, we will all go together again. He started looking for places that he would like to go. He came up with Australia and New Zealand. Well, when he found out that their seasons are opposite of us, he decided that he didn't want to go there in their winter season. We get enough winter where we live! One night at dinner we were talking and Randy mentioned to AJ that we could go to the Final Four basketball game next year for his trip. He loved that idea. It's in Houston and we would make a vacation out of it. I think it will be a lot of fun to all go together. We may get lucky and get to spend some other vacations together but if not, we will have some great memories of our "last" family vacation.
