Miller Family Retreat

Well, this was going to be funny and full of jokes. But it all got deleted so now all we get is pretty much a low budget C grade movie full of cheap jokes and dodgey effects for a shock factor that will do nothing more than make you cringe and feel nauseous. So for all those who enjoyed the tea cups at Disneyland, read on!

Here's the recap:

Happy Camper Award. We all learned that valuable lesson "Bribery fixes problems." Let's put that one right next to "If you're not cheating, you're not trying" and "Looking good is all that matters."

Nightly workshops. Setting goals, how to keep our family close, the helium stick, Jared disappointed that the helium stick wasn't something he could inhale, Josh disappointed that he wouldn't then have a lower voice then Jared even if it would only be momentarily, and how to manage our finances using the equation: Freedom buys Happiness, Money buys Freedom, therefore, Money buys Happiness.

Great Hikes. Bekah screaming as her bottle bounces off the edge. Jared without hesitation chases after it. Pops uses his token phrase "What a Dumb@$$!" Mom slaps Pops. The rest of us laugh. Jared returns victorious. Bottle ends up broken anyway.

Good times, good times. Though this blog may be a bit damp from the sarcasm (which is mostly due to the fact that I am having to retype this) we really did have a great time. It was good to have us all together again. All of us got along well and were able to just enjoy being with each other. Thank Mom and Pops for everything, but I think the biggest thanks goes out to the true Camper of the Week and an inspiration to all...Tom Selleck!
