Family Facts from our side :)

1. What are some of your family's favorite phrases, exclamations, or sayings? Let's see.....where to start? "For Pete's Sake!", "Jiminy Christmas", "Great Scot!", "Golly Day!", "Goodness Gracious", and TONS of others!
2. What's the number of boys to girls in your family? 3 against 6--they've got half as much as we do. ;)
3. What is your favorite tradition your family has? Thankfully our family has always loved holiday traditions, so I guess any of those would be favorites. :) (see this, this post, or this one)
4. What do you call the midday meal at your house? Lunch. What else do people call it? :)
5. Is the majority of your family morning people or night owls? hm...I'd say about 1/2 & 1/2. 
6. What is your favorite vacation location? :P Well, in our family the favorite (and pretty much only) vacation we go on is camping at State parks and the like. We all LOVE it! Especially when the mosquitoes aren't full tilt, we don't get rained out, and it's not too terribly hot. ;)
7. Are your family's weekends usually full of activities such as sports, parties, and outings, or are they more of around the house, fix-it-uppers? It probably depends on the time of year....in the summer you'd more often than not, see us fulfilling garden needs, cleaning the house, doing projects outside, etc. But in the slower seasons, we don't mind having a party or get-together to go to. ;)
8. What is the nationality/ies your family comes from? (i.e. Scotch, Russian, etc) We are a big mixture of English, Irish, Scottish, Choctaw Indian, Dutch, and who knows what else! It's kind of fun to be able to claim all those as our heritage. :)
9. Do you go away for holidays, or celebrate at home? Usually the holidays come to us. :P But seriously, for Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas most of the extended family will come to our house to celebrate! (which is real fun)
10. How did your parents meet? At Busch Gardens, believe it or not. :D They were both musicians in the bands around the park. (Mom in the Raggamuffin Band and Dad in the Boogie Band.) A friend kind of hooked them up. :)
