My favorite family vacation was in August 2008. DJ had just returned home from his mission earlier that summer, but he had dubbed the vacation two years prior "Dorff Family Snugglefest 2008." We started planning it months in advance in order to get everyone's schedules aligned.
It was a fantastic week in southern Michigan near the lake. We went swimming, played games, did so much fun stuff as a family.
Oh, one of the really funny experiences from it was when we played charades. The three boys who married into the family got over all their shyness that night! I remember Shawn impersonating a duck and Mason kept guessing it had something to do with Peter and a cake. Tim does the best ballerina impersonation ever. Kristen shouldn't be allowed to drink soda and laugh at the same time (good thing that towel was near by!). Tiffany and the boys made a valiant effort at acting out "the three little pigs," but once again, Benjamin stole the show. Mom and Dad... well, that was hilarious. As they pretended (without words) to be contestants on the original "the Newlywed game show" who had gotten the answer wrong... without speaking! That was hilarious! Ahhh, and I had to try and perform the running man - did I ever mention that I wasn't really the star of the show at church dances? ummm, yeah, I know... it was obvious. **And how could I forget DJ?! His skit combining impersonations of every member of the family - I won't say I wasn't offended that he made me appear quite conceited (it may be true), but he made up for it by imitating Benjamin trying to walk really fast, then falling down; replicating Peter's silly picture grin; and he was dead on with mom's laughing/"i have to go to the bathroom" scene (see below). DJ - he's the man!
Anyway, all of the fun times in Dorff (extended) Family Snugglefest 2008 made it my favorite vacation ever!
**If you haven't heard, Mom was reading a print out of this post while eating dinner, and after making it through without choking/wetting her pants - Dad proceeded to read aloud the part about Kristen, soda, and the towel... well, chocolate milk, hamburger, and fruit in the sink, along with a change of pants - need I say more? :)

Way to get the ball rolling. I do have to agree that Tim does an amazing impersonation of a ballerina!
Kristen shouldn't be allowed to drink soda, or milk, or water, or even lemonade while laughing! And, Shawn does a good duck and many other impersonations yet to be discovered!
