For Sale

Rich is kind enough to the environment to reuse the paper plate notes that he leaves on the front door of the office/store/house. These are resting on the side window ready to be the information center for all of the campers. Now to put his efforts towards that phlegm problem after he trades the place for some cash.

Don't Sleep Next to the Spider Wall

It turns out that this time, log cabin means no repairs or additions since the date it was built (5/14/69) log cabin and not individual bedrooms, shower and hot tub cabin. No shower, no problem. No ventilation in the bathroom, slight problem. Cracks in the walls letting every bug in, big problem, but it gives Kim something to take out her aggression on.

Detour

There was a two hour delay due to construction on the highway on the way to Rich's Last resort, but that didn't stop Kim at all. She drove through the ditch and up the hill to the service road and we were on the move. We didn't have time to stop at the Mule Trading Post that advertised "life sized animals". We did however count seven rebel flags on a truck. It's for sale and I'm looking into it. Yee Haw and Praise the Lord!

Sneak Peek

Here's a look at the most valued trading card ever made before it even hits the market. This limited edition trading card will not be sold in stores or via television infomercials. Don't bother your local sports card store.....they don't even have the connections to get a glimpse of it. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to find one and maybe you'll be even luckier to get Facoty's autograph. Then you will have the most priceless possession ever known to humankind. Find it, get it signed, take a good look at it and then bury it in your backyard in a capsule to be opened in 500 years by a realtive who has learned the true meaning of being Facoty.

Talk Derby To Me

This was not the only time that all of the refs had to pull the girls apart from each other. If I remember correctly, there was a fight the second time around the track. The crowd was amped, the skaters were amped, great debut from the twenty year hiatus. Now, who do I talk to about a mud pit in the center as the penalty box?

Less Sunblock Needed

This is how I hang with my family. All hollywood and stuffed full of food. I dealt with the devil to get these shades. I offered Heather two bucks for them and she replied "make it three." The kid knows her supply and demand, but always goes to sleep before I pay her.

Crashing

As the end of play your ass off day number two starts to approach, Lauren is slap happy and about to go down, but the older ones, Heather and Amanda have learned from the adults what to do in this situation. Chug the caffeine! I was doing the same during this nice little break from being their personal jungle gym.

Delivery Please

I heard the bang bang of cabinets and I went to the kitchen to help direct Mari to whatever utensil she was looking for (I tend to put things away in odd places)and I came into this. She explained to me that she was looking for something to eat and quite literally, wanted to keep her options open.

Sock Ball

This is pretty much all we saw during the Chicago vs. Australia game. At the second inning, the announcer told us to leave the field due to inclement weather. We went to the car and waited, then it barely sprinkled and the security guard drove by telling everyone that the game was called off.

Walking, Walking, Walking

This had to be when we first got to the botanical garden because after a few hours of following Mari's mom up to every flower to hold and smell, we had more of a haggard look on our faces. Plus, we couldn't navigate to spider island and the strain of curiosity was taking it's toll. Mari's the cutest and I'm not biased.

Digging My Own Grave

This is what it would look like if egos were measured by inches. These two tower above everyone. The trick is to get them against each other before they sense fear in you and start their jokes and teasing. If that doesn't work, just toss a shiny object their way or turn on the tv. Whatever you do, don't answer any questions!
