You know the whole idea of getting presents kind of deminishes when you know you are paying for your own gift .

I buy myself so much crap throughout the year, I always take this time to spoil the kids and the wife rotten. My 2 year old son really lit up this year when he opened his Mickey Mouse club house and all the little figures that go with it. It is basically a play set that animates and makes the figures take when you place them on electronic posts. The funny thing was one of the characters (Daisy Duck) barks like Pluto! LOL.

 

Did you say " lit up " ??

The boy " lit up " BIG TIME when he opened up his new electric chopper. He was just like that kid in the TV commercials jumping up and down. Here are some shots. It goes 15 mph and is rated to handle up to 250 lbs. It's pretty cool !!

Well Santa forgot to bring my intake also...so dont feel bad But my kids were very pumped, I think my son wanted an intake for my truck too! but he got an X Box to go with every other video system known to man he has, I keep telling them that when I was a kid we had to use our imagination to have fun...theyd be lost hehehe

 

We didn't have much growing up,, I sure didn't have any video games. To this day I still don't like playing those things. When I was a kid,, and length of rope or a baseball bat would keep me occupied all day,, lol. I guess things have changed.

 

I know what you mean, I grew up in the country where we used to have road apple fights...you should have seen the looks on my kids faces when I explained what a road apple was...it was priceless!!!

 

i grew up on a ranch 36 acres, a single shot 22 and a box of ammo, with strict instructions not to shot at or near anything that was alive and NOT trying to hurt me. oh and an axe with instructions only to cut these trees.

Oh Man the good old days :-)

 

Man,, that brings back memories. I'd like to know how many 500rd boxes of .22 bullets we went through (I had remington auto with a scope). We used to go to this little bayou ( I grew up in Louisiana ), stand on the bridge and shoot at beer bottles that we would throw in the water. We'd let em get as far as we could see before destroying them, lol. After a while I had gotten good enough that I would throw in the bottle caps and hit them. Then there was the snake hunting,,, the camping out in the sand pits,, the four wheelers, man those were the days. Hopefully my daughter will be into the same things, I just hope she has a little more sense than me though .

 

yeah i shot all kinds of stuff. its funny though you are like 12 years older than me usafr

 

geeez, 12 yrs,,, I remember when I was that age. I graduated highschool at 17, went to school, the went to work. I've been building powerlines since I was 19, and manged to squeeze the air force reserves in there,,,, time flies,, I just had my 30th b-day last month. I'm proud to say though,, I'm in better shape and better lookin than when I was 18
