A Kodak Moment

Here is the football game that I had said would be a long, boring football game. It actually turned out to be not so bad. The weather was perfect, and I was with my family, which always makes things more enjoyable. My sister made the assumption that we do not get out much, due to the fact that we brought our video camera. It's not that we don't get out much (although that may be the case by some people's standards...). It is just fun to go to an event that would not be looked at as special in some cases, and record some memories. When we look back at the video, years from now, we'll look at that insignificant event as a wonderful memory.  We'll be able to say, "Hey, look how much hair you had then," and "Did you really used to wear your hair like that?", or "Mom, you are pretty lame for taking your video camera to a football game. See how much you made them suffer as you now make us suffer with bringing your camera everywhere, and making us watch this?" Now, what is so wrong with that? I complain a lot when I go to family functions and my mom, (and my grandmother for that matter) whip out their cameras to take a snapshot. But I do see where they are coming from. Although many of the pictures they take are the same as every other one, we can see how we have grown up and matured throughout all these years. And that is something great for a mother, a grandmother and even a great-grandmother to look back at. I'm sure that my family is going to complain when I want to take a minute to snap the Kodak moment that will be going on. Anyway, I love my video camera and I do want to use it a lot more than I am now, so Lindsay... no more comments about my lack of social- going- out-ness. I'm making a memory here.
