We woke up in Lynnwood and drove for around 1 hour and 58 minutes until . . .there it was, Canada BC 176 Street / Pacific Hwy / Hwy 15. Meanwhile rejoicing, clapping and cheering we drove onto the driveway and . . . worked. I had a great day!

Many moons ago, there lived a boy named Nick. With a billionaire as a father, his mother said that he could have whatever he wanted. It took Nick quite a while to figure out what he wanted. But finally after 2 weeks, he said, “I want the biggest electrical toy train set ever!”

So they started looking around town for one. They were looking for a week but they still couldn’t find one. So they packed up their 30 foot trailer and hopped into their Yukon XL and started driving to the east coast.While they were driving the mom said, “While we’re on this trip we might as well go do the activities that are laid before us rather than just look for a train set.”

So it was agreed to do the activities near where they go. They went across Canada and into the U.S.A. starting with Maine. When they were in Pennslvania they were staying at a bed and breakfast with a train museum down the road. They biked to the museum, paid and went in. The first thing he saw was a bunch of shelves of old fashioned and newly styled trains and train cars. He didn’t see much else until he turned the corner and saw the best sets he had ever seen! “THIS IS AWESOME! There were around 10 electric sets. All but 1 were just like the ones he had at home. The other one was the biggest he had ever seen in his life! It was a whole countryside, with cars, street lights, farms, hills, tunnels and buildings. He ran to his mom and showed it to her. So they went to the desk and asked how much money it would be. They said with cash $1,000,000,000,000,000. But they didn’t have that much, so they asked

“Can we find one elsewhere?”

But all they got was a NO! So they carried on with their trip. When they got home with no train set they remembered the one his Opa gave to him. So they set it up and Nick thought it was the best! Nicks Mom and Dad were so mad at him.

“Hey at least you guys got to take the Elevator ride at Disneyworld 16 times!”

Once upon a time, a family decided to go on a trip. Their names were William the youngest, Jamie-Lynn next oldest, Samuel the next oldest, Sarah the oldest kid, mom and dad. The dad had a hard time deciding what tools to use on the trip. There was one tool, barney the vicegrip, who pleaded to come along but the dad said no because it was rusty and old. After the dad had left, barney secretly hopped out of the toolbox and while the dad was busy doing something it slipped into the trailer toolbox.

They started driving but while they were driving, the axles on the wheels of the trailer were loose because the bolts had come loose and nuts had fallen off. The dad found barney in the toolbox. “What are you doing here?” he asked. “I don’t know,” said barney “I really wanted to come along so I hopped out of the toolbox and went into this one”.

“Humph,” said the DAD. “And besides you’re too rusty you don’t work nearly as well as the others.”
Next, the dad went to look for other tools to use. After looking the dad found out that the only tool that would work was the old rusty old barney. So he told barney that he had to use him. Then the dad clamped barney on the wheels of the trailer and went back to driving. Barney, knowing that the family depended on him, held on holding the trailer together! They would stop every 20 minutes to check on barney and luckily they made it from Banff to Calgary in a 2 hour drive! When they arrived in Calgary they were immediately looking for a recreational vehicle shop to repair the trailer and it was done in less than an hour! So they went on with their trip thanking God and barney.
