This Christmas my cousin decided at the last minute to set up a web cam at my aunt's house in Texas. I braved Fry's Electronics on Friday before the holiday and bought a web cam for our computer. I'd never done anything like this before and it was easier than I imagined (although my husband did most of the set-up). It was the best Christmas away from home and I can't believe we hadn't done it sooner. I enjoyed Christmas dinner and even a "Scrooge" game (white elephant game) with my entire family in Houston. It was amazing, a bit surreal and lots of fun! The picture and sound were clear and we watched in real time.
My husband and I want to get web cams for both our parents now. It's such a great way to communicate and allow family to see our kids grow.
And it's FREE!
I've never used the webcam for family orientated activities (unless you count families in alabama)
ReplyDeleteon a side note, you go to the studio city farmers market on sunday? i just read bridgette's blog that you saw Dylan from Nip/Tuck there...so cool.
I'm coming over for a demo! That is way too cool. Just wait until the grandmas of the world figure this one out - that will get them online in droves.
