History Repeating...

I spent the last few days hanging out at the homestead, celebrating my mother's favorite holiday: The 4th of July. And as everyone we have ever met assembled on my parents front lawn for the parade, I started having some flashbacks to my childhood. And because I can't afford therapy, I decided to blog about it.

My parents have lived in this house for thirty-something years, and every year my dad has run the Scout Camp/Girls Camp snow cone fundraiser from our driveway. All six H kids served time as snow cone sales people, and this year the torch was passed to the next generation as Warren introduced Kenna to the fine art of snow cone selling.

While I was trying (unsuccessfully, it turns out) to find photos of the original H kids selling snow cones, I found some other old photos that correlated to this weekend's activities.

For example, I found this photo of Spencer and Mikey (and Warren) cuddled up taking a snooze. This past week, Spence and Mikey and their very understanding brides spent the holiday in NYC... sharing a hotel room. History repeating itself once again!

And then there was this photo of Greg napping on the couch. And no, it wasn't taken at Christmas time. I'm not sure why the santa hat is there...

Which mirrors this photo of Greg sleeping in the same living room on a different couch (but possibly still wearing spider man undies) this week. Tradition!

And speaking of Greg and traditions, here he is getting ready to set off for his first day of school.

Yesterday, my parents sent him off to school again... this time so he can get back to his job at the BYU bookstore.

Greg should be pretty used to being shipped off by now...

...but at least this time he got to ride in style on the shuttle instead UPS ground shipping.

The theme of the 2012 4th of July Holiday: The more things change...

... the more they stay the same.
