TRIP EVENTS

GOOD FOOD, GOOD PEOPLE AND GOOD TIMES. WOW, WHAT AN EVENT. WHILE THE DRIVE IS ABOUT 4 HOURS, I AM REWARDED WITH HUGS IN THE FIRST 5 MINUTES THAT MAKE IT ALL WORTH WHILE! AND THAN IT ONLY GETS BETTER.

THE GRANDCHILDREN KICKED THOSE MACHINES REAR ENDS, WE HAD GREAT MEALS WITH LAUGHS ALL AROUND. OH YES, DON'T FORGET THE SONG BEFORE DINNER. LOOK OUT FOR THOSE VEGGIES! AND THE SALAD SHOOTERS! AND SARAH HAD HER CAKE AND GOT TO EAT SOME OF IT TOO.

THE MOTEL WAS JUMPIN, RUNNING AND SPLASHING AND GRAMPS GOT A GREAT DEAL ON HIS 5 ROOM SUITE, THANKS TO JENNY. AND THAN SARAH WAS GRAND CHAMPION ON THE MS PAC MAN MACHINE, ONCE AGAIN THE YOUNGEST IS THE QUICKEST.

AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF, WE GOT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A WAR BETWEEN MONSTERS AND ALIANS, THE MONSTERS WON, THE SPARTANS WON AND I GOT A NAP AND POPCORN. WHO COULD ASK FOR ANYTHING MORE?

WAIT, THERE WAS MORE. A TRIP TO THE PAST FOR SARAH, OLD HOUSE, OLD SCHOOLS, 7-11, LALONDES MKT AND GLOVERS TO NAME SOME. YES WE HAD TO DRAG THE BOYS, KICKING AND SCREAMING, TO MIDLAND. AND IT WAS JUST IN TIME TO SEE THE OLD HOUSE GUTTED.

THAN I COULDN'T REFUSE SARAH'S OFFER OF SOFT BUTT TISSUE, SO OFF TO ROCKFORD WE WENT, SARAH TOOK THE HI ROAD AND I STILL BEAT HER THERE. AFTER A GOOD NIGHTS REST THE BOYS AND I HEADED OUT TO TEAR UP THE TOWN, HAIRCUTS BY YOUNG HOT CHICKS, MAYBE THEY WERE REFS? LUNCH AT MING TENS, THAT'S HOW MANY POUNDS I PUT ON! AND A TRIP TO THE GAME SHOP. A LITTLE LOUD MUSIC WHILE TRAVELING AND NICK'S MICHAEL JACKSON SONG, MADE A FEW EXTRA LAUGHS. THANKS ALL FOR MAKING ANOTHER TRIP A GREAT MEMORY!
