Rlow and Callum, we're going to their 14 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: grandpa's house. They loved going to their grandpa's house. I 15 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: totally understand. I love going to my grandparents house. How 16 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: about you, guys? Oh, it's so fun. What's your favorite 17 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: thing to do at your grandparents place that maybe you 18 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: can't do at home. Sometimes maybe they might have a 19 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: little bit more sweet things to eat, am I right? Yeah? 20 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: Or maybe there's something special that you get to do there. 21 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: I remember growing up and going to my grandparents house 22 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: because that is where I got to go fishing, and 23 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: I loved fishing very much. I still do. Actually, me 24 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: and my boys we love to go fishing together. Well, 25 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 1: Harlow and Callum. They were excited. Their grandpa's place always 26 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: had the greatest of mysteries there. There were a lot 27 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: of old things and a lot of things that had 28 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: some great stories behind them, and their grandpa was an 29 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: amazing storyteller. Harlow, are you ready? I have everything that 30 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: we need for the best day ever, said Callum. Yep, 31 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: I'm just put my shoes on and then let's head out, 32 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: said Arlow. Arlow and Callum climbed into their parents car 33 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: and off they drove. They were going to spend the 34 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: whole weekend with their grandpa, which meant it was going 35 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: to be a ton of fun. As they pulled into 36 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: his driveway, their grandpa was already sitting on a rocking 37 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: chair on the front porch, waving his arms ecstatically. Hey boys, 38 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: how are you doing? Arlow and Callum basically jumped out 39 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: of the car before even stopped and jumped into their 40 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: grandpa's arms. Wow, you guys are getting bigger, said their grandpa. 41 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 1: Arlow and Callum grabbed their stuff, and in they went 42 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: and waved goodbye to their parents, and in their grandpa's 43 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: house they ran, all right, Well, what kind of adventures 44 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: are we gonna do today? Said their grandpa. Arlow pulled 45 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: out a list from his pocket. Well, I was thinking 46 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 1: we could do a ton of things, like maybe make cookies, 47 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: or we could build a fort, or an adventure hike 48 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: or story time, or the last option is all of 49 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:12,679 Speaker 1: the above. All three of them laughed together. Those all 50 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: three of those sounded great. Callum said, could we go 51 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: on an adventure? Like? Is there somewhere on your property 52 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: that we haven't explored yet? Their grandpa thought for a 53 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: second and put his chin in his hand as he thought, 54 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: mm hmm. Well, yes, on the west side of the property. 55 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: We we haven't spent much time over there. There's a 56 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: whole bunch of brush that's been overgrown, and maybe there 57 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: could be some cool things from a long time ago 58 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: in there. Yeah, strap on your shoes, grab some hiking sticks, 59 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: and let's get going, said there Grandpa. The three of 60 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: them busted through the back door and off the two ran. 61 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: Arlow and Callum were a little bit fast through than 62 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: their grandpa, but their grandpa loved seeing them run and race. 63 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: As the three of them all started heading west on 64 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: the property, they could see up ahead exactly what their 65 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: grandpa was talking about. Callum, do you see all that stuff? Well, 66 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: look at all those vines, and wow, it's so thick, 67 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: said Harlow. Callum was the first one there and said, guys, 68 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: look at this. It's like a wall of ivy and 69 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: sticks and trees and I can't even get through. Well, 70 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: I brought some pruning shears with me. Let's let's see 71 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: if we can cut our way through, said their grandpa 72 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: as he started snipping away at the ivy and the leaves. 73 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: Arlow and Callum grabbed on the branches and pulled them 74 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: out of the way. They were right. It was like 75 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: a complete total wall that was way too thick to 76 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: crawl your way through. The only way in was to 77 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: cut a path in. As their grandpa was trailblazing and 78 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: cutting his way through, he formed a little bit of 79 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:12,799 Speaker 1: a tunnel that allowed them to maybe squeeze through. Harlow Callum, 80 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: why don't why don't you guys crawl in first and 81 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,559 Speaker 1: take a look in there. Callum's eyes were really big. 82 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: I don't know what if there's some creepy crawl. He's 83 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: in there. Harlow, you you go first. Harlow took a 84 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: deep breath and rolled up his sleeves. He got on 85 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: all fours and started to crawl his way in. Oh yeah, 86 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: there's there are some spiderwebs. There's a big one. He 87 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 1: grabbed a stick and poked the spiderweb out of the way. There. Okay, 88 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: it kind of opens up ahead up here. Holy smokes, guys, 89 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: you're not gonna believe this, shouted Harlow. The path that 90 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: Arlow had been crawling through had finally opened up into 91 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 1: a bigger section. He was how completely surrounded. It was 92 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: kind of like a forest, but it was more like 93 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 1: a dome, a dome of ivy and leaves and branches. 94 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: But inside was something that he never expected. Harlow, are 95 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 1: you okay in there? We're coming, shouted the grandpa from outside. 96 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: It only took a few more seconds before Callum and 97 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: their grandpa rolled into that room that Arlow is in. Whoa, 98 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: holy oh wow. It was at that moment that all 99 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: three of them were now standing inside of this forest dome. 100 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: But inside there stood and is that an RV, said Callum. 101 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: It was it was like a really old r V. 102 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: Do you know what an r V is? Yeah, it's 103 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 1: like it's like a something you can drive and live 104 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: in inside. It's really cool if you want to go 105 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: on like long road trip adventures. And well, this one 106 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: was silver, and it was really old and covered in 107 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: some ivy and start and sticks and stuff. But it 108 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: was very surprising that this was there. Boys, I've I've 109 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: never owned an RV myself, and I don't even know 110 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: where this came from. Harlow immediately started pulling the ivy 111 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: and leaves and stuff off of the door so that 112 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: they could open it. There's a dupe. He finally got 113 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: everything pulled off the door to the r V so 114 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: that they could open it. Grandpa, do you want to 115 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: do it? There could be like a skeleton inside, said Callum. 116 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: All right, boys, stand back. Their grandpa grabbed onto the 117 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: door handle, and as the door swung opened, they were 118 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: instantly hit with a all of dust. Wow, look inside there, 119 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: said their grandpa. Arlow and Callum poked their heads in 120 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: the door and looked around. It was a very strange 121 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: looking r V, not a normal one. There are lots 122 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: of screens and buttons and but everything was very old. 123 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: Al Right, it doesn't look like there's any skeletons in here, 124 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: Arlow jumped in, with Callum close behind. Look at all 125 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: these buttons, and holy smokes, what is this thing? Callum said. 126 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: As they searched around and looked around. It was pretty amazing. 127 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: All right, Well, just be careful to not touch anything. 128 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: We I don't know what this is going to do, 129 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: said their grandpa, and just then Calum accidentally bumped into 130 00:08:50,480 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: one of the buttons. Instantly, the whole inside of the 131 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: RV was filled with all these bright, flashing lights, and 132 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: the RV started to shake and buzz, and then it 133 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: started to fly off of the ground. Everybody, hold on 134 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: and sit down. Arlow and Callum jumped into some seats, 135 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: followed by their grandpa who buckled in and instantly the 136 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: RV was now floating over the forest. Their grandpa jumped 137 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: into the driver's seat, leaned back and said, all right, 138 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 1: do you guys want to see what she can do? Yes, 139 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: let's go, shouted Arlow and Callum together, and off they blasted. 140 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: This RV was actually some kind of magical RV that 141 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: could fly around. And even though this is the end 142 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: of our story, It's only the beginning of arlowin Callum's 143 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: Great RV adventure with their Grandpa.
