It's Memorial Day weekend. People are out and about going on sweet vacations and road trips having rad experiences. I am home, in Logan, with my brother Curtis and having the best time!
Curtis is 13. He is a smelly kid with way too much energy and loves talking about punching people and his newly formed interest in girls. Ha! He makes me laugh. He is also the most tender hearted, good and honest kid I know. I am so glad he is my brother!
When he first got here I wished for a minute that I would have gone to Moab or Zions-or somewhere else equally as cool for the long weekend. Actually, I think those wishes left right when I saw him. His ear to ear smile and excitement that radiated from him was all I needed to know that we were going to have worlds best weekend!
And we have. At least I have. We have had continuous fun: surfing, ropes course, music, parks, movies, scooter and motorcycle riding and there is more to come. It's only Saturday morning. The best part of the weekend though has been our conversations.
Like I said, Curtis is only 13 but I forget sometimes. He talks to me like a grown up. He asks questions about complicated real life subjects. It amazes me how his mind works and the kinds of things he thinks about and what we are able to talk about. I am amazed how much the little guy cares about me and worries about me and how those feelings just aren't felt for me but for my entire family and lots of his friends. I am certainly blessed to have such a RAD brother!
I love you Curtis.
We went to the park and he got stuck in the hole.
Sometimes Curtis comes to help me at the ropes course. This was yesterday. Everyone loved him. After the group left and we were getting read to leave he was taking his harness off and his pants came off too. Soo funny. Good thing he had shorts on!
