The Cole Family and Me

Sitting at home, bored, my brother Paul comes out in his full National Guard uniform and says he is leaving for a weekend of fitness testing in Rochester.  Having promised to visit my housemate and friend, Stephanie over break I took this to be the only opportunity to get a free ride to her house.  Unfortunately, this left me with approximately 5 minutes of planning time.  So I called my friend Stephanie but she did not answer so I packed my weekend bag and jumped in the car with Paul and Dad, bound for Rochester.  It was only when we pulled into a Burger King, where I nommed a burger heavily sedated with ketchup (not by choice), that Stephanie called me back.  She conveniently had me over that very night where I got to watch her brother Sean play a game of high school varsity basketball.  The next day was the Cole family reunion where I met the entirety of her family.

<<Some more of the family, everybody playing wii dance>>

Overall it was a super fun day with all sorts of games and kids and the good kind of crazy.  I hope in about ten years all of my siblings and I can remain that close and get along that well.  I'm thinking some T-shirts with a family name on the back.  P.S. we'll be adopting Sara B. so she'll be there too.  Stephanie, despite your 4 year old cousin kicking me in the face, I think you're family is amazing.
