“Have a good trip.”Chapter 20: I’m Not Going Home. I’m Going To Wisconsin.
Well, most things pale in comparison to Punkin Chunkin, but timing is everything.Personally, I think we pale in comparison to Punkin Chunkin, but whatever.
[AlternateFacts] In the only Great world that matters, of course! [/AlternateFacts]in what world is a trip to Delaware a Christmas present?
That year?Their kids must have had a bad year…
We’re talkin’ kids here; that’s every year.
But ya’ love ‘em anyway.
Congratulations, you’ve been reduced to a meme.Apparently, this was a hit in their house, and Mostly Delaware!!!! became a new catchphrase for their kids.
Learned their lesson, did they?We met up with Barry and Bambi at the hotel, where they eagerly returned Scotty and Dave to us.
It’s the kind of offer that’s been known to drive the decision making process in relation to hotel choices.Normally, if someone offers me a cinnamon roll, I will always say yes.
Good to know one’s weaknessesHowever, if you tell me it’s a cinnamon roll the size of a satellite dish? I’m jumping in the car.
Duly notedI’m awarding the Machine Shed a Drooling Homer Award for Excellence in Unpretentious Dining.
Well, they knew where the bar was set.Here’s a good view of the kids’ brand new t-shirts. I must grudgingly admit that these were cooler than the ones we provided for Barry’s kids.
One-upmanship was an unavoidable consequence.
Which one did Drew drive?I think this was the prize tractor, because Barry wouldn’t let Drew drive this one.
That’d be the one that you’d apparently be allowed to have the most fun with.
Because it was…Dave and Evan wasted no time climbing up the hay bales in the barn to see who could get the most rat and bird crap all over their clothing.
And somehow they all thought this was a good idea.
Duh!
When is there not a good opportunity for Scotty to happen?you just know that this is an opportunity begging for Scotty to happen.
Somehow, Scotty managed to drive off the road and into the one and only mud puddle on the entire property. And he got the 4-wheeler stuck.
Now there’s a collection of words that are rarely seen in that order within the same sentence.…relocated to Wisconsin upon retirement.
Being as doing so would defy the known laws of physics and put the theory of Special Relativity into question, it’s probably good that you didn’t succeed.And futilely attempt to get all 7 kids to smile for a photo at once.
What’s better than a model train?There’s a train ride that takes guests around the park and along the shore of Green Bay. Naturally, Drew loved this.
Well, a real train of course, but a model train big enough to ride in finishes a close second.
And proof is required because…Here’s Green Bay, just to prove we were there.
…and so then I just tell daddy that they have cinnamon rolls the size of a satellite dish there, and boom… we all get loaded into the car and he takes us there.This one just screams, “Caption me!”
Works every time.
It’s the only logical explanationAnd his big brother had a brain cramp and let him fly a helicopter.
Just wait until one of the Services let him fly one.
So long as you weren’t in the line of fire at the time, that is.
If you said “all of them,” consider yourself a winner!
An image of a six foot shower of mud comes to mind.Madison didn’t want to drive her own bumper car, so she handed the keys to a teenager who doesn’t have a license yet. What could go wrong?
Pretty sure it’s best I stop there.
You need to hire a Press Secretary.Whoops. Sorry, guys. We totally screwed up the communication there.
That’d fix it.
Which is basically the definition of a fun day.Anyway, we had a fun day and once again wore ourselves out.
Or one in which you worked yourself senseless.
You can kind’a flip a coin on that one.
Cute.I couldn’t help but wonder if the kids would still have Mostly Wisconsin on their minds as they dreamt that night.
Your work or one of the kids?
(I mean one of the younger kids, of course)
