Memory Spark Monday: Choose a gift you've received and tell the story

This started about my most recent mothers' day gift, but it kind of morphed.
Technically for Mother’s Day I got a camera—but since I bought it myself, brought it home, (plugged in the battery so it would be charged and ready) wrapped it, it wasn’t a surprise. What I asked for from my family is that we would all spend a chunk of time playing Buzz Jr. Jungle Party. It’s a silly collection of games that four monkeys play against one another. Each player is a monkey. If you lose your monkey falls in the river, has a hippo or an anvil fall on him, gets his head bit by a lion, or gets electrocuted. They are really funny and at that time, it was a close contest between the four of us. We love competition and we enjoy trash talking to each other. I struggle with most of the games—just doing average, but I am REALLY good at a couple of games and that keeps me in the running. I thought it would be a fun way to spend a couple hours on Mother’s Day.
