“So I was looking through all my old home videos and I found one from last year on my birthday  that I guess we can just use,” Spencer says as soon as we get up to her room. “It’s pretty long though I figure we should just edit them and show only a couple minutes of each. I’ve kind of already picked out the scene we can use in my video. I can edit them together if you’d like. It will be good practice for me seeing as how I will be studying film after high school,” Spencer says as she is setting up her video I guess so we can watch it.

            “Yeah that’d be great Spence. I never knew you were into studying film?” I said while taking a seat on the edge of her bed. I still can’t believe I’m in her room right now sitting on her bed. Internal squeal accompanied with dance! I know I’m a dork, all well live with it.

            “Yeah I’ve always found film to be interesting. I’d love to be able to create documentaries, especially ones that can really help and influence people,” Spencer says as she sits down next to me on her bed. She presses play on the video and I watch as the screen shows Spencer outside in her backyard with all of her family and close friends around her. They all look like they are enjoying themselves. They are laughing and joking around the pool while her dad and mom cook out on the grill.

            “Glen! Glen! Stop!” Splash. That was Glen throwing Spencer into the pool. I guess Clay was recording the whole thing. “God you are such an ass! I’m going to get you back for that,” Spencer then proceeded to chase Glen all around the backyard while everyone else looked on laughing at the two siblings. She finally caught up to him after just a few minutes and managed to throw him in the pool. Apparently Spencer is faster and stronger than she looks. This playful banter went on for a few minutes with the siblings and then everyone joined in, even Mr. and Mrs. C who pulled out water guns and chased everyone around the yard, all laughing and just enjoying themselves. That’s the kind of family that I wish I could have. Spencer turned the video off after a few minutes, once the water gun fight had ended. It would be a great video to show and would definitely contrast my video quite well.
