A month ago my brother-in-law gave us a bin of VHS movies, most of which the kids have never seen. My kids were thrilled yet bummed because we didn't have a VHS player (my two youngest have never seen VHS and were wondering how it fits into our DVD player). Yesterday my daughter-in-law, Emily, brought over a VHS player so the kids could "finally" watch these treasures. This morning, after I hooked it up, Victoria pulled out a video and said, upon inspecting it, "look its broke!" She was looking at the underneath side where you can open the door and expose the tape. We did a quick "run through" with Colson on the "how to's" of operation and they were instantly mesmerized.
I can't believe how advanced we've become, with technology, since we've had Colson (who is 9). He and Victoria will never know life "before" cell phones/computers/HD/MP3's/gaming systems, etc. Crazy! but they are LOVING their new VHS player and we have a slew of movies they've never seen, which saves us some considerable $$$ in rental fees (we won't have to rent a movie for months to come).

we just finally sold our VCR last fall. we still need to convert our wedding video from VHS. that's really the only VHS the boys have watched in quite some time, although we used to have a couple movies that Wilson would watch. Funny how technology changes! Enjoy all the "new" movies!
