Easter was a awesome.  This year about half my siblings came over along with my mom, dad and father-in-law.  We played baseball, poker and xbox. We ate so much food my kids were still full when they came home from school on Monday. My kids love it when we have family over.  I'm not sure how much money we've spent on trips to Disney or Universal Studios, but I think Andy and Jenna would have traded most of our family vacations for more time with their aunts and uncles.  Johnny is a roller coaster nut, so it might be a toss up for him. 
I thought I'd heard every crazy story about my brothers when they were kids, but I heard a couple of new ones Sunday.  Sam tried to tell us about their sleepover on the roof, but he was laughing too hard to get it all out.  We finally figured out that he had heard a thud in the middle of the night and when he woke up, Ben wasn't there.  He'd rolled off the roof in his sleep!  And they decided one night to douse a ball in lighter fluid and play soccer.  The ball was headed towards some tall grass which they didn't want to catch on fire, so Sam ran, kicked it pele style over his head and nailed his friend in the face with the ball.  The friend lost his eyebrows and some bangs...  Once my book, 'Controlled Chaos', is finished, if it doesn't sell like I'm hoping it will, I think I'm going to move onto a book about my brother's.  I'll call it, 'Uncontrolled Chaos'.
