DIS Dads DDC XXXII: A Dole Whip in Paradise

[FreezinRafiki]

Nice. But I gotta ask- how'd you sink a whiffle ball?

We were surprised as well. Turns out the plastic is just dense enough to slowly sink in the water. So not only did the kids get to take turns hitting the wiffle balls off the dock and into the lake, they got to go on scavenger hunts for the balls when they were done.

Sounds terrific. Take the next few days at the office to relax.

That's what I'm working on now!

Genius. I'm using this next time we're at the lake.

I've got a sunburn, a hundred mosquito bites and my chest, shoulders and arms are sore from too much time battling for supremacy of an inflated tube being pulled by a boat at slightly ridiculous speeds over choppy waters in Northern Wisconsin. I'm feeling bloated from the mass consumption of beer and food cooked over a fire. I almost got attacked by a small mouth bass while looking for a sunken wiffle ball. God I love vacation.

Well said!

This sounds like more of a competition than a vacation. Fun stuff regardless!

I'm surprised the race has not started yet??

It's seems like more of a family 5K fun run\walk than a race.

Group stroll perhaps?

Drunken stumble.

 

[RodBelding]

Drunken stumble.

Works for me.


That's my normal pace anyways.

Sounds a lot like my current symptoms. Not the bit about inflated tubes on Wisconsin lakes, but most of the rest of it fits pretty well.

Oh and I’m with ya’ on the “love vacations” part of it too.

Sounds terrific. Take the next few days at the office to relax.

And I think I’ll follow this advice as well.
Thanks for the tip.

I think I’m gonn’a have to go with option C for this one.

I have a feeling that one's going to be the winner...

 

[Cinderella's Fella]

Drunken stumble.

Ah yes, Thanksgiving's 2011...

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

I'll drink to that

Ah yes, Thanksgiving's 2011...

yeah... let's not be doing that again.


wink, wink. nudge, nudge

Drunken stumble.

A bunch of Sconies experiencing the great outdoors? I am shocked that beer and drunken stumbling are part of that adventure.

Saw the pics on FB and it looked like a blast. My one question is where were the wet suits? Northern Wisconsin lake even in July has to be a bit chilly.

The water was a bit "refreshing." I think my nephew said it was about 68° or so. The extended family from Texas and Tennessee seemed content to sit on the shore or just ride in the boat. Where's the fun in that?

The thread that shall not be spoken of

 

[Goofy + 3]

Voldemort is Harry's dad. C'mon, you saw it coming.

And Hermoine is his twin sister (she looks great her metal bikini in book 4 after Hagrid makes her a slave), Ron turns out to be a smuggler with a broom that can make the Kessel run in under 12 parsecs, and Dumbledore finds out that It's A Trap!

They kind of ruined it for me though when they went into the whole explanation about Harry having more magical powers than everyone else due to the high mugglechlorian count in his blood cells.

I really like near the end of the last movie where he pulled the wand from the stone and was declared King of England!

You forgot about the part where he uses his wand to change the color of his shoes from blue to pink and back to blue and then back to pink and then back to blue again only to lose one of them on the steps as he was leaving the castle at midnight!

Have you gotten to the point where Harry is locked in prison but digs a hole in his cell's wall with a rock pick? After swimming through a sewer pipe he steals Voldemort's money and opens a resort in Mexico with Morgan Freeman.

You guys are a bunch of liars. None of those things happened. I finished the last movie last night and was moderately entertained. All in all, they were pretty good and I can see why kids like them. But I could have done without the 2nd and 3rd movie. When they got older and things got darker I enjoyed it more. It was interesting watching the movies in just a few days and to see how much the kids changed from one movie to the next. I couldn't tell if Ron was hitting the weight room or was getting fat though.

We're becoming a bit slower as we get older as a group... All part of life.

DW loves making age jokes about me stemming from getting an invite to tour a retirement condo nearby.

Attacked by a smallmouth bass? Wuss, I once jumped onto a two foot long northern pike...okay, substitute jumped with "fell off an innertube"

Drunken stumble.

I'll grab a beer

You needed the director's cut
