Ringing in the new year - family style

For the past few years we've spent New Year's Day at Clay's cousins' house in East Texas and I look forward to it every time. They have a great house on a lot of open land with cows, donkeys, pigs, trampoline, treehouse, 4 wheelers - basically a kids' paradise. We get together with everyone at our reunion in September, so it's realy nice to have another time of the year when we can catch up and let the kids run around crazy together. And while I do love watching the kids play and get dirty, my favorite sight this year was watching this:

  2. OK, in my defense. I was going really fast and was trying to land my second back-flip.
