While my parents were here, we drove up and picked up my sister, and then we all went to see Yellowstone.
Yep, Old Faithful!

More from Bryce Canyon NP
Ryan and Hayden went on a three-mile hike (Navajo/Queens combined loop).
Hayden burned his chin looking at the pilot light on the RV’s water heater. The grate pattern is clearly visible :\ .
Possibly the favorite attraction was the dusty RV lot where we camped, and the mound of dirt that separated us from the nearby cow pasture. The kids took full advantage of Mt. Dirt.
We had fun with Ryan’s sisters and parents!

Manly man
I’m the oldest of four daughters. While we were growing up, my dad would often (i.e. at least weekly) encourage us to eat some portion of our dinner with the promise, “It’ll put hair on your chest!”
As you can imagine, this didn’t really motivate us.
We were just on vacation at my parents’ house (home again; feels so good not to have that trek hanging over my head!). Hayden was reluctant to eat his Venetian pasta rolls. My dad hastened to assure him, “It’ll put hair on your chest!”
My brother-in-law joined in. “You want a hairy chest, don’t you? Like Papa, right?” (My dad.) “Like Daddy?”
“Yeah,” Hayden said. “Papa has a hairy chest. So does my dad.” He dropped his voice to a mutter. “So does my mom.”
At the time, I knew anything I said would’ve made it worse. But I think I missed the obvious punchline:
“See? It works!”
What silly phrases from your childhood come back to haunt you?
