What happens when you turn two kids loose with a MacBook

After having received some crap from various fronts about not updating my blog (with the prevailing affront being "even Tom has updated more often than you have") I won't procrastinate on the Thanksgiving entry any longer.

I decided to drive to Augusta, GA to spend the holiday with my brother Glen and his kids. I even picked up my dad on the way, making the 17 hour drive that much more tolerable.

Anyway, Glen's kids kept making up these games involving me chasing them, throwing stuff at them, and throwing them on the couch. Aside from the occasional "Waaah, you threw that at my eye" and "Waaah, why'd you throw me on my face?" such games were extremely fun, and a great workout for all involved! Here's a shot of them in the Obstacle Course, a game they made and set up around the house that comprised various wobbly, unsturdy objects that they had to jump on and walk across to avoid touching the floor, or touching poison (random blankets, towels, etc, placed on and around the jump targets), or getting poison thrown at them by Evil Judge Uncle Brian.

Other fun activities included Guitar Hero, Wii Bowling, Dance Dance Revolution (yeah, it might not have looked pretty, but I tried it), and of course, eating Turducken.

Oh, and as to the title of this post: What happened innocently enough:

quickly descended into chaos:




And here they are looking relatively normal :)

Big thanks to Glen for hosting a great Thanksgiving!
