Funny stories from FW

[LONE-STAR]

I was just wondering if anybody had funny stories from FW.
When I was a kid my sister slept in a tent behind the pop up. One morning my sister came flying into the pop up because she thought we were late. ( we weren't she just set her clock wrong.) Wright when she opened the door to the pop up the front slide out on the pop up broke falling to a 45 degree angle and rolling my parents out into the loop in there PJ's. The noise wakes me up so I look over and the front half of the pop up is gone with my parents. Me and my dad spent the rest of the day repairing it.

Well, I have told this story before, but you need your KTTW card to get into the bathroom after a certain time. DH did not realize this (shows him for not reading all the papers we were given) and got up in the middle of the night to go. He could not get in. So, he got creative and helped with the watering of the trees. I still rib him about it. Too bad us ladies don't don't have that convenience. I would have spent a while digging for the card.

OK those are funny! I have alot of funny memories of being at FW, but momaloya yours broght back a funny memory. We were tent camping and my DH is not a happy camper about camping but he will go along with me every once in awhile. Soooo one night after we had been and heavy intoxicated, in the middle of the night about 3 am I wake up and have to use the Comfort station so I (not wanting to wake my DH) ran up to the comfort station and once I get up there the peacocks start making there noise enough to scare you! Then I get into the comfort station and I'm taking care of stuff and I here the door to the Comfort station open. All I could think about was here I am my DH doesn't know I'm gone and I'm trapped I look under the stall door and I see these mega size work boots. Ok so I'm thinking its a man in the woman comfort station. I'm really scared by know!! I finally think I'm fast enough I'll get to the door and scream if I have too!! So I come out of the stall and it looks like a very big Woman maintenance woman. But I had already made my way to the door because I wasn't plannning on staying there. After seeing who it was I did go back to the sink and a wash up!! Boy was I scared!! It was kinda funny to have all that running through your head!

I just remembered another one. Back when FW rented sail boats my dad rented one every trip. Well one time my mom decided to go on it with us. Well when the wind blows the boat leans to one side or the other. This did not set well with mother she freaked . So my dad turned the boat around to take her back to the dock and about 20' from the dock we got stuck! Then lake patrol had to pull us out

Well, this one time at band camp...........oops sorry, wrong board.

Our last trip tent camping at FW, we had just finished setting everything up, we had one of those old cabin style tents, when it started raining buckets so we all ran for the tent. The rain was coming down so hard and fast the roof of the tent started caving in, so I started shuffling the kids out to the van and then made trips back and forth for the bedding while DH tried to "hold up the tent" when I came back for the last time, the whole tent had collapsed on DH and he was crawling around under it trying to find the door yelling "I CAN'T GET OUT, HELP!!!" It wasn't too funny at the time but now we laugh and laugh about it and have since upgraded to a pop-up so we never have to deal with that again.

Ok Grumpy, you really need to increase the size of your font. I consider myself pretty young, but my eyes just can't read that small print.

Proudmomof4 that had me lol. It reminded me of a trip years ago when we still tented and the rain filled our tent awning and the whole thing collapsed. Luckily noone was inside it at the time. Our best though and I have said it before was when we were running around with the golf cart. A frog jumped out of somewhere and landed on DS, 5 at the time. He freaked out! I felt so bad for him because DH and I just could not stop laughing.

There was that time that Ftwildernessdad and Rog had over served themselves and decided to go native. That was when they found out there was snapping turtles in the lake and now they're not half the men they once was.

We ended up in Walmart after midnight buying a new dome-style tent, because there was no way we were going to be able to set up that soaking wet tent again.

DS5+frog in golf cart=very funny

Shortly after we got our golf cart (it was originally pink), we took it to FW, where the lights on the front decided to konk out. DH thought he would be cute and strap lantern lights on top of the konked out lights with zip ties. Pretty much everyone who saw it laughed their fool head off at it, but it worked. What got me laughing is when he was escorted back by the FW security for not having the proper lighting on the cart one night. They didn't think it was that funny, however I sure did!

Thats pretty good. This didnt happen at FW but on the turnpike on the way to FW whenI was a kid. We were at a toll plaza and they told us our tail lights were out on the pop up and we could not go on. So my dad took 2 flashlights put red reflector tape over them and duct taped them to the rear bumper of the pop up. We had to change the batteries a couple of times and believe it or not my dad had all this stuff in the van with us.

We had something similar happen to us on our last trip to Auburn. All of our running lights went out (turned out to be a coroaded fuse box) in Albany on the way up. We got pulled over by the Albany, GA police and he was very nice about it. We ended up turning the running lights on the my jeep that we were pulling and made it through the backwoods of GA to get to Auburn for the night.

Your story sounds just like what my dad would do in that situation. He has all that stuff with him all the time.
