@Jude525, what sweet. memories you have growing up. It sounds like you had lots of family fun. It's so nice to have cousins. I'm glad to hear the summer home still stands and I'm happy the Sim lot worked out for you. Just watch out for that sudden drop!
Your dad sounds pretty cool. That's so nice that he is able to travel to Italy to see his family. I still can't get over that he built the cottage. Amazing! :)
Heck you could build entire neighborhoods with just your family members!
ps. At first the link didn't work for me but now it does. So nice of you to share.
