June 21--Camping out in the Driveway

So, we decided to take a trip up north to visit Grandma & Grandpa while Ian was off track. As soon as we got there mom whisked me away on a shopping trip and dad hunkered down to entertain three boys. After a fabulous shopping trip dad gave me the rest of the night off by loading the kids into their new camper (or "camp" as Miles calls it) and watching Jungle Book on the TV. Okay, slight revision--they started to watch Sssss.....
Okay more explanation--my dad likes bad movies. The kind of movies that never make it to the movie theater. Movies that star oversize frogs or mechanical ants, and some people who really can not act. Thanks to Netflix and the new channel THIS my dad now has an endless supply of such films. Dave decided to contribute to his bizarre movie list by giving him Sssss... a movie about a snake scientist who turns his lab partner into a snake and then the snake/lab partner eats him. So, my dad decided it would be fun to watch on the widescreen with Ian & Miles. They lasted about 15 minutes until the lab partner shed his first skin and dad opted for Jungle Book. Good choice.
Miles decided to venture inside for the night, but dad and Ian had a camp out in the camper during which Ian learned that Grandpa snores and Grandpa learned that Ian grinds his teeth.
