Kin Thegither

In starting our own family traditions we have hit upon something that really works. We call it Kin Thegither. (Gaelic for "Family Together") During this weekend, (we try to do them twice a year) We just hole up in the house. Cook together, play games, paint, and move all the mattresses into the living room and have a camp out. The point is to spend the time together. It is always a great time and this weekend was the best ever. We worked together Saturday to create the following movie together. We really enjoyed ourselves and will certainly do it again. Check it out and let us know what you think.

One of the greatest things that we get to share with the children is to somehow prod them in their creativity. When we began this movie idea, the ideas and thoughts just really began to flow, it was exciting to watch. Maybe these silly efforts will open their horizons to something like acting or film making or (as Joby says) movie stuntman.
