Hanging out in Buffalo with my boys

How valuable is time with your family? 

The past couple of days have been something very special and something I will never forget.  This weekend my boys and I spent the weekend in Niagara Falls.  No mom, just the boys and it was great, sure we miss our family member left back in good ole Calgary but it was some time for bonding as guys.  My babies are teenagers now and I truly understand over the next few years they will be starting their own lives and hopefully not to soon, families of their own.

Three generations of Crawford’s attended the Bill and Saints game on Sunday in Buffalo.  The Bills didn’t win the gridiron match against the boys from the Crescent City, but the game was awesome.  NFL football sure is fun and exciting.  Even my youngest who elected to where his Jeremy Shockey jersey had fun with the Western New York fans.

When I was sixteen, my Dad and I spent a weekend in New York City.  We went to the top of the Empire State Building and World Trade Center, also attended the Yankees and Detroit Tigers in the Bronx stadium.  I will never forget the wonderful weekend I had in New York City, staying at the Howard Johnson’s in Manhattan, coming through Port Authority, getting ripped off by some fake taxi dispatcher and all the other great things which occured that weekend.

Why are family times like this important?
