When I was 8 my family got our first video camera. It weighed about two tons and didn't have any fancy feature, but it was the best toy we had for many years. My friends and I made videos of ourselves doing everything. We hosted talk shows, we did plays, we sang songs and did dance videos, anything we could think of. 

 I asked my father the other day what happened to all these videos and if he had ever thought to convert them for the sake of preserving them. I had no idea what I was getting into! Here are just a couple of the videos he has sent me in the last couple of days.  

I think these are perfect examples of why you should not raise your kids in rural Connecticut, they might turn out like ME!
