My family has always enjoyed being around each other, especially when we would all meet up at my granny’s old house on Lake Cherokee. When I was kid this was always my favorite place to go because I got to spend time with my cousin, Wyatt, who at that time was probably my best friend. We did everything together and my granny’s house was the place all of our memories and experiences were shared. Looking back I remember the living room as being a special place to Wyatt and I. Once we were staying the night with my grandparents and we were trying to attach his Nintendo GameCube to my grandparents living room television. Our plan was to slide the monstrosity of a television box slightly off the wooden stand it was on so that we could connect the cords to the back of the T.V. Although in the process of doing that the T.V fell off the stand and plummeted to the ground where it shattered and broke the GameCube. After that fiasco Wyatt and I were to only play in the “play room.” We did everything in that play room from watching all of the “Land Before Time” movies, playing Pokemon, constructing our own comic books, and building our own structures out of wooden blocks. The things that we made out of the wooden blocks were extra special because after careful planning our masterpieces were displayed on the very prestigious laundry room shelf. As little kids seeing what we had created portrayed to our entire family meant so much to us, even if it was just different blocks glued together. After Wyatt and I had made our block village we decided to take on another challenge – building our own Squidward puppet. We had just finished watching the new Spongebob episode where it featured the Squidward puppet and we were inspired to replicate it. The both of us spent the entire day with tape, paper, and blue crayons, and after a few hours, voila! Our puppet was completed. Excited, we gathered the entire family into the dining area to present our puppet show. We dimmed the overhead lights, set up a spotlight, and performed in front of the entire family with jokes and a script that we had constructed ourselves. The show was great and we were so pleased with the outcome and the applause of our audience. Looking back that house fostered some of my greatest memories with my family, and my dearest cousin, Wyatt.
