Flash back day

Katie & Craig might appreciate our little 'flash back' day recently. We pulled out a few of my childhood favorites & recreated the fun with Connor.

Item #1: big red rent.
*This tent spent a lot of time popped up on top of our beds when we were kids. We'd 'camp out' and sleep in our tent. Papa & I had fun trying to put this together while Connor was jumping in & out of it!



Item #2: "Dumbo" on VHS.
*Papa spent some time firing up the old VCR to get "Dumbo" up and running. Connor got to enjoy his first bowl of popcorn while cuddled up with Nana watching one of Mama's favorite childhood videos.



It was fun to flash back. It was even more fun to watch the 20-some year old commercials on the VHS tape of "Dumbo." We got a glimpse of weather man, Jim Farrell, before he was grey and 'aged.' I enjoyed the ads for 1988 Buick vehicles and the jingles for the McBLT served in styrofoam sandwich containers at McDonald's. :)
