4. Family time capsule

Grab a jar and toss in whatever comes to mind for the past year. For my family that means things like Pokemon cards, UT basketball tickets, fossils from hiking, and candy. The only essential thing for the time capsule is a family picture. For more time capsule details, check out Kellicrowe
