My niece, Jenna, her son (my great nephew) Owen (3), and my brother Bobby who was visiting them over his 4th of July vacation, came from Tucker, GA to see our new home and spend a few hours with us. We took a short ride on our pontoon. When we docked, Jenna went up to Bobby's van to start the a/c to cool it down. Somehow, she accidentally locked the keys in the van with the motor running. Bobby was able to get the rear window opened a bit, but none of us could get our arm in far enough to unlock the latch, even using some of Bob's tools. We finally gave up and called road service. Surprisingly, one of the responders is a fellow that camps here, so we ended up having help within minutes. Once the van was opened, we went back to our site and had lunch on the deck. Just as we were finishing, a rainstorm came out of nowhere and forced us to go inside the travel trailer. A few minutes later, we lost power. About 45 minutes later, the storm passed, power was restored, and the company set out for home. Despite the locked van and storm, it was a wonderful visit.
Owen told us he was happy because he was on "holiday". Jenna said he watches a British children's show, which is how he picked up the phrase.
Owen takes the helm
Bobby's not hitchhiking. He's telling Owen to steer to the left
Owen let Bob take over again. After all, Owen is on holiday!
Back on the deck, Owen checks out Billy Bass, the singing fish. Maybe next visit we can try catching some real ones, Owen.
