Con Familia

My uncle and aunt passed through this area last week. Haven't seen them in years, so we went to meet up with them in down town Seattle for dinner. Auntie Beth and Uncle Melvin John don't have grandkids yet so they were trying to lure our kids back to California with them. My son was getting bribed with promises of attending football and baseball games by my aunt. We had a blast, talked about growing up on the island and memories. My uncle was basically a teenager while I (and a lot of my cousins) were elementary school age. We laughed about all the stuff he and his age group made us do. Funny to talk about and remember, but thinking about it, kind of surprised I survived my childhood. I remember once him and my other uncle put me in a large towel and them holding both ends, swung me around and upside down using centripetal force to keep me in the towel. They got beat for that particular one.....
