Inner Rhythem: The Skeeters & the Bedbugs song!
I had a great birthday Friday followed by a rather lazy Saturday, where one of the lazy things we did was head out for a bit of shopping. My mother and Cyndi were in the front of the van, and I was in the back. I was, for the better part, ignoring the conversation that was taking place till I heard those dread words…
Mom: I was thinking that today was nice, maybe we should have headed out to Cade’s Cove.
Cyndi: NO WAY! ~ I was thinking that exact thing!
Me: OH GOD NO… not again!
The conversation continued, and it was certain there could be no getting out of the trip, for tomorrow (which would be Sunday). I offered for them to take Amanda, so I could watch Perrin. They thought that was a wonderful idea, so they called Amanda to see if her AND Perrin could go. She could not because she is not into that whole two hour road trip to sit in the car for two hours to ride back for two hours thing. I offered to babysit for Amanda, but they said she didn’t need a sitter. So I offered for them to take Shannon, while I watched Lakota and Devin, but again, that was a no go because they called, and Devin could not make it, and Lakota and Shannon wanted to go. This left me excuseless, and along for the ride.
Oh well… I decided to make the best of it.
Cyndi & Shannon rode in the front, Mom & Perrin rode in the middle, and Lakota and I hung out in the back (near the snacks, but don’t tell anyone). We played a game to see who could find a certain car or a certain house (like a house with a green roof, or a bank, or a red mustang) so that pretty much passed all the time on the way there. It was a pretty good game, and we ended up tying as we pulled into the Cove, so we left at that, with two winners.
When we pulled into the cove, we pulled over, and I flopped the two back seats down so that Lakota & I could ride with the back up. From there on out I had the very most bestest of times! Even though we did not really see all that many Animals…in fact, we only saw a half dozen deer on two trips around the place. What made it fun was the “quality family time” that we all had.
