Best of 2008

The Skor Family had some great moments in 2008. Here are some of my favorite memories:

  • Our first trip with our new little camper to Monterey in the Spring. Ian was running a temperature. It was raining, but it's a moment we still talk about.
  • Camping on the Beach at Seal Rock, Or. The boys and I got up early the next morning and braved the rain to wander on the beach with very low tide. We discovered thousands of star fish and had lots of moments of wonder.
  • Taking Grammy & Grandma Virginia to Florence, Or for Thanksgiving. Through the gracious gift of a friend, we had a beautiful little beach bungalow where we celebrated Thanksgiving.
  • I carried Ian through a mile of stairs and winding pathways in Wind Cave after he puked all over the ancient walls...
  • Sitting on the 2nd story balcony of Old Faithful Inn eating old fashioned ice cream with Kiley's folks while we watched Old Faithful go off one more time in the sunset.
  • Following a swerving Dodge Durango through the Nebraska pasture - realizing that our children were driving (under their Papa's supervision, of course).
  • Floating the Niobrara River with Brendon - just father and son.
  • Ian's first day of Kindergarten with Mrs. Stevenson. He was so proud that he was finally going to school!
  • Hearing Brendon and Ian declare on Christmas Day (knowing that this year we intentionally spent less), "This is the best Christmas ever!"
  • The hundreds, if not thousands, of snuggles, hugs, kisses and moments with my beautiful bride and my two precious boys. We have been blessed beyond imagination.
There are more, but these are the ones that have come to mind over the last few weeks.
