Good luck!

That should give y'all plenty of time
to get up to mischief
and get your contest answers in.
See ya when I get back!
4. By Girl Guide, I am assuming you mean Girl Scout? Is it called Girl Guide somewhere? You get Thin Mints and only Thin Mints because those are the only ones worth eating. (Oh wait, that might be MY opinion and not what you did!)
Welcome to the TR!
My eighth!!
She's a good kid,
but sometimes gets in the way
when dad is trying to hit on
aquatic women.
I mean really!
This will be a very.... fragmented TR.
The first few days....
Notes! Copious notes!
I've got notes about my notes!
So... be prepared for details....
Loooots of details.
For the first half of this TR.
The second half?
Yeah... not so much.
Exploding helicopters.
With giraffes.
I mentioned that Kay is my younger daughter.
When her older sister turned sixteen,
we threw a big party for her.
But Kay isn't a "big party" kinda girl.
And we had no idea what she might like.
So one day I said to her,
"Would you like to go on a trip somewhere?"
But then we found an even
better place.... in Phoenix.
You could pet the capybaras there.
And hence, a trip was born.
Care to follow along*?

Actually, they are called Girl Guides everywhere except the US, I believe! (Well, not sure what they call them in non-English speaking countries). Thin Mints are my favorite, but there are definitely others worth eating, imnsho!
Texas as well? I'm in houston.
Well gheeezz…Welcome to the TR!
My eighth!!
You were involved…How did this happen?
Oh sure…Well... there's a reason.
And that reason is you.
It’s way too late for that now…Aaaaannndd...
right about now you're
throwing your hands up
in despair and saying
"Please make it stop! When will it end?"
See!
That's me. On the right.
Oh wait…You could say I have a slight...
fondness for Ariel.
Which is cool, because
she obviously returns my affection.
Yeah…(Evidence her smitten expression of adoration.)
Oh good.The other person in the above photo
is my younger daughter, Kay.
She should just stick to saving you form the terrestrial ones, right?She's a good kid,
but sometimes gets in the way
when dad is trying to hit on
aquatic women.
Make clear?There are some things
that I should make clear
right from the get go.
So… fiction, then?I'll be relying on my memory there.
And since I can't remember yesterday....
And this trip was in March.......
Ahhhh… Action Misadventure.But there is one thing you can count on.
And I’m with her on that one.But Kay isn't a "big party" kinda girl.
She wanted to interact with the freakishly large rodents, or…A few days later, Kay comes to me and says.
"Dad? I want to do this."
And shows me this exact photo:
Sans the being feed to them part of it I’m assuming here, right?I told her we could do that.
Because, those are just icing on the cake when combined with massive gnawing beasts."And can we go to Universal?"
"Sure!"
"And maybe Disney for a day?"
"Sure!"
Uh huh…But then we found an even
better place.... in Phoenix.
You could pet the capybaras there.
And all was right with the world…"How about after Phoenix,
we pop over to Universal
and Disney... California?"
"Yay!!!"
Naaaaa…Care to follow along*?

You kept telling me to write.
And when I wrote,
you kept telling me to
write some more.
She's a good kid,
but sometimes gets in the way
when dad is trying to hit on
aquatic women.
Because while the first part of the trip
was all new to me,
the Disneyland/California part was...
Well... new too... but I wanted to
play tourist more than I wanted
to play Trip Reporter.
Exploding helicopters.
With giraffes.
What all good TRs should have,

But Kay isn't a "big party" kinda girl.
And we had no idea what she might like.
So one day I said to her,
"Would you like to go on a trip somewhere?"
She said. "Yes! Japan!"
I said. "Think... less distant... less $$$$$$"
A few days later, Kay comes to me and says.
"Dad? I want to do this."
And shows me this exact photo:
And it wasn't ridiculously expensive.
Located at the Palm Beach zoo in Florida,
the cost was $35/person.
(Plus $20/person zoo admission.)
