Road Trip Day 6: Party, revisited
As it turns out, Mick's little reenactment of The Graduate's final scene ('Elaine! Elaine!') was actually an attempt to get our attention. I think they just wanted to show off how big their honeymoon suite was for just the two of them, knowing damn well that our family of five was shacked up in the room with only a double bed. Thanks, Ben.
As we checked out of the hotel, the boys decided to help with the bags.
After checking into the new hotel, Angie managed to really crack me up.
With no more tan juice, Angie looked like the next poster mama for Wite-Out.
She also sneezes when she looks at the sun, so perhaps she just had a really traumatic experience with light when she was growing up. Group therapy might help, but who else would attend? Maybe Gizmo with his fear of 'bright light', but Angie is horrible at not feeding after midnight and the last thing we need is more Gremlins running around the house.
Adults in Ireland are expected to drink. Kids are expected to dance. Angie and I are normally crap with rules, but that's because they are German rules.
- ACHTUNG! Zer' vill be no crossing za street if ze little mann ist rot!

- ACHTUNG! You must vear black socken ven you vear shorts!
At some point, David walked over to Peter, who was dancing with 'the tall one'. I picture the sequence of events going something like this.
'Mama!'
Peter must have felt really bad for making David cry, for he stopped smiling for almost three whole seconds before returning to 'the tall one'.
In the end, Caine and Able worked it out. Thankfully, it was without the use of any boulders and in the end, everyone still managed to have a ball.
--------------------------------------------
Ladder Talk:
1) What was the best part of your day?
Peter: When I played with Annelies.
David: When I played with that lady, but they are already home, I think.
2) What was the worst part of your day?
Peter: When Davey woke up and he was in a horrible noise.
David: When I play with Tom not.
3) What would you like to do tomorrow?
Peter: To get breakfast and play with the Annelies when she's there.
David: When I play with Tom.
Maybe Gizmo with his fear of 'bright light'... and the photo sequence of the "Tall One" brother drama unfolding.. LMAO!! Too Funny.. Great stuff, Steve :)
