Most families have an activity or a recipe or something else that the do every year or when a special occasion happens. Well my family is a part of the most. We have many family traditions that we do every year (or try to do) together as a family. One that I love doing ever so dearly is wake up at 4:00 AM and watch Dawn Patrol and then Mass Ascension at the Reno Balloon Races.
My family has gone to this event since my parents moved here when my older brother and sister were little. Of course I don't remember going in the early years, but when I got older it became one of my favorite traditions to uphold. Not only do you get to see this beautiful light show you get close to family (mostly to do with keeping warm).
As the years have passed sometimes we weren't able to go because of one thing or another, or one of the family couldn't come. The one important thing is though that we always have tried to go. Take this year my parents weren't thinking of going because it was a week early and we wouldn't have all six of us, but in the end we went because we knew we would enjoy it. And we did, it was so much fun even though we may not have had a perfect view or had head lights blinding us the trip was so worth all the troubles just to be with family.
Tradition may seem silly to some people, but really it's what brings people together and make everything an amazing experience. What are some of your traditions? What do you do with your family year after year? What could you make a tradition? Ask yourselves these questions and remember, traditions are what bring families closer.
