Memory

To occupy my hours and hours of free time over the last week, I begun the slow process of converting all of the Snell's home videos to digital.
A few years ago my sister, Amanda, got my parents a nifty device that copies VHS tapes to an SD memory card.  The process is insanely simple but takes a fair amount of time.  The fun part is getting to re-watch a lot of home movies I had forgotten about.  Most of the tapes are quite old so it's also nice to get them backed up on the computer.  Once I fill the SD card, I'll have to burn the clips to DVD, erase, then continue the process.  Exciting stuff, I know.  The best part is I now have so much blackmail on my sisters.

Of the videos I've converted, here are some highlights:

One of our classic Easter egg hunts with matching outfits courtesy of my mom.
Megan may not have been the most athletic child.  Throwing the ball directly at the ground clip.
Audio's a bit off but Amanda shoving me mercilessly down a hill.  "GET UP!"
I would be murdered if I put this video up.
Only a few know of what this is.
Some of the most interesting videos to watch are the birthday parties, mainly to see who was invited to the festivities.  A fair amount of the people I still keep in touch with whereas a few I have no idea who they are.

I could have put loads more clips on here but I feel like they're really only funny to those who were involved so I'll leave it at that.

That's all for now.  Bye.
