Vance Boyer

I interviewed Vance Boyer (my cousin) to find out some of his first memories with me.  Vance remembers us jumping of the old white picnic table in our superman pajamas cape and all when we lived in the basement.  He remembers our parents laughing at us because we did it over and over.  We had our Little Foot stuff animals with us too. 

Before we went to school mom did a little pre-school thing with us.  Vance didn’t enjoy the school work very much but he remembers we did a lot of fun things in our basement.  We would through big kick balls all over the place.  We would set up all of the VHS tapes in the dresser/TV stand thing.  Then we would go bowling.  Vance knows how kick balls feel when they hit your face.  During the years of throwing balls in our basement, we hit the florescent lights sometimes.  They would fall out and break.  Vance said that one time I reached up and caught the light in my one hand.  I set it down and we kept on playing. 

We used to have big Armstrong family reunions at back then Ricks College.  Vance remembers that we went crazy at the dance.  We were in the corner by ourselves just dancing away especially to Foot Loose. 

Another time we were in our van driving to a high school football game.  Vance says that we were listening to Madonna.  During half time at the game, we wondered down near the locker room.  When they came out we were amazed at how big they were.  When we got home we made a cool fort with the extra carpet we had.  I remembered this part a little more.  We made a lot of forts together whether it was at Grandma and Grandpa Tew’s house or in our garage.
