Oohhh… And you've seen so many spectacular sights! This can only mean...
Yep. It's about food.
I actually don't think you're kidding here.
At all.
Maybe a slight exaggeration. But these are so much better than the new ones.
Whoa. That looks good!
I was so sure this was foreboding!
I knew it! Just because the highway department was involved...
Oh sure. Up here it's "Surprise! You're going to be late, now."
I know, nobody likes being stuck in traffic. If we could build the improvements offsite and air-drop them into place, we would.
Whoa. That's a cool shot, btw.
Hey, thanks!
Yep. Very nice. I like it.
What was the scale like on that? Kinda hard to tell from the photo.
It's not huge. I just looked it up, and the falls are 48 ft. (14.6 m) high.
Who are these strange people with you and Julie?
I've met your kids and they're smaller.
You're not kidding. I can't believe how fast they grew. And they eat everything in sight!
And were met by werewolves.
I'm sad that I know that.
I am so, so proud of the fact I had to google this to find out what you were talking about.
Weren't you just asking me if creativity was dead?
So, obviously not!
Clearly! Right up there with Thing 1 and Thing 2.
Yusss!!!!!
No Oblivious Family trip is complete without them.
Unfortunately, this is true.
At least you don't have to carry a toddler while doing it any more.
Or... did you?
No, thank goodness.
I did occasionally have to give a 5-year-old a piggyback ride, though.
Actually... I really like that photo. Pretty cool to see that much driftwood.
Thanks! It was certainly a unique spot.
Beautiful shot!!
And thanks again!
I bet! I've never done anything like that.
You don't get many opportunities, that's for sure. I think that was my favorite part of the park.
I'm not at all surprised.
Hey!
But it does happen.
Case in point.
I can't deny it.
Hmmm... so... were you happy or sad about that?
Happy. I didn't bring any rain gear.
Well... I get that.
But... nothing is going to keep you from sounding like uncultured swine.
Also true. I largely bring that upon myself. Case in point with the "oak" rant.
But I still have no idea what oak is supposed to taste like in wine.
Of course. Because how much could BBQ cost, anyway?
Depends how many plates my kids order.
I don't drink anything but sweet white wines, so don't ask me!
But I have a feeling you might be poking the bear on this one.
Those are the only kind I would ever drink as well.
I can't help it! Poking fun at foodie culture is one of my favorite running gags. And those who enjoy it...well, they tend to give me back as good as they get.
Reminds me of our meal at Boma.
so many choices! DW and both DDs ate nothing but mac n cheese.
Exactly like my 'Ohana experience.
But of course. Why would you not?
Can't think of a reason.
I'd like to get into that as well, but...
I can't justify the cash outlay for a good smoker given that I'm pretty much the only one who would eat anything from it.
One DD doesn't eat meat, the other doesn't eat much. DW doesn't eat much meat anymore either.
Yeah, I understand. I mostly break it out for company just because it usually ends up being a large amount of meat. But it does make a difference when everyone else in the family enjoys it.
