The best part was learning to navigate around on a Segway. They were cool! Ethan and I both commented we would like to have one for our own but then we heard the price of one!! A great way to end his Christmas break.

Segwaying Ancient Siam
Ethan and I spent his last day of holiday break taking a Segway tour of Ancient Siam with some friends. Ancient Siam is a replica of the country of Thailand. The whole park is laid out like Thailand with replicas of the most popular sites located throughout this huge park, it's really an enjoyable tourist site.

New Year's Eve 2011
We had such a blast this New Year's Eve. A friend and I planned a New Year's Eve, Family Sports Day. We began the day in the afternoon and planned several competitions for all family members along with a progressive dinner or should I say grazing marathon!!
We began the day at the Whitcombe's for nibbles and lots of fun games. America would be proud of our representation in the baseball game, except the one point where Ethan threw the ball to get someone out rather than tagging them!!! He has been in Thailand too long! We also had a good ole-fashioned barrel race there. Mark and I both came in 2nd in our heats, and Ethan and Dustin won their heats easily! We then had a trivia contest with Mark and Dustin racking up the points, it helped a lot that it was an American version! We didn't do as well in the darts game but enjoyed the chips/dips, shrimp cocktail, grilled squid, and cheeses.
We then moved to our home where the friendly games continued. All teams were greeted by Lady Liberty and Uncle Sam. We had a very intense ping-pong tournament and Australia was the big winner there, Dustin dominated the basketball game and the Northcutt's also captured the charade win! We enjoyed a set-down dinner at our home while we reflected on goals for 2012, which were all sealed and kept by family members for reflecting on next New Year's Eve.
For our dessert time the party moved on to the French representative's home. We had a blast doing some Congo dancing and much laughing before enjoying Chocolate Mousse, Apple Crisp, among other tasty treats while the points were tallied from the day.
The Northcutt's were able to prevail in the first New Year's Eve, Family, Sports, Day taking home the huge, gaudy, pink, traveling, trophy. Hopefully, next year more families will be here over the holiday and we can have even more join in the fun. We are going to be busy practicing our darts!!! We won't want to hand that trophy off to anyone else next year! Just a blast!
