It was not only a beautiful 16 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: day today, but it was also a very special day. 17 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: R Low and Callum were going to their grandpa's house. 18 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: They loved going to their grandpa's house. I totally understand. 19 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: I love going to my grandparents' house. How about you, guys, Oh, 20 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: it's so fun. What's your favorite thing to do at 21 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: your grandparents' place that maybe you can't do at home. 22 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: Sometimes maybe they might have a little bit more sweet 23 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: things to eat, am I right? Yeah, Or maybe there's 24 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: something special that you get to do there. I remember 25 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: growing up and going to my grandparents' house because that 26 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: is where I got to go fishing, and I loved 27 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: fishing very much. I still do. Actually, me and my 28 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: boys we love to go fishing together. Well, Arlow and Callum. 29 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: They were excited. Their grandpa's place always had the greatest 30 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: of mysteries there. There were a lot of old things 31 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: and a lot of things that had some great stories 32 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: behind them, and their grandpa was an amazing storyteller. Harlow, 33 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: are you ready, I have everything that we need for 34 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: the best day ever, said Callum. Yep. I'm just putting 35 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: my shoes on and then let's head out, said Arlow. 36 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: Arlow and Callum climbed into their parents' car and off 37 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: they drove. They were gonna spend the whole weekend with 38 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: their grandpa, which meant it was gonna be a ton 39 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: of fun. As they pulled into his driveway, their grandpa 40 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: was already sitting on a rocking chair on the front porch, 41 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: waving his arms ecstatically, Hey boys, how are you doing? 42 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 1: Arlow and Callum basically jumped out of the car before 43 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: it even stopped and jumped into their grandpa's arms. Wow, 44 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: you guys are getting bigger, said their grandpa. Arlow and 45 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: Callum grabbed their stuff and in they went and waved 46 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: goodbye to their parents, and in their grandpa's house they 47 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: ran all right, Well what kind of adventures are we 48 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: gonna do today? Said their grandpa. Arlow pulled out a 49 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: list from his pocket. Well, I was thinking we could 50 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: do a ton of things, like maybe make cookies, or 51 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: we could build a fort, or an adventure hike or 52 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: story time or the last option is all of the above. 53 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: All three of them laughed together. Those all three of 54 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: those sounded great. Callum said, could we go on an adventure? Like? 55 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: Is there somewhere on your property that we haven't explored yet? 56 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: Their grandpa thought for a second and put his chin 57 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: in his hand as he thought, hmm, well, yes, on 58 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: the west side of the property. We we haven't spent 59 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: much time over there. There's a whole bunch of brush 60 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: that's been overgrown, and maybe there could be some cool 61 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: things from a long time ago. In there. Yeah, wrap 62 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: on your shoes, grab some hiking sticks, and let's get going, 63 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: said their grandpa. The three of them busted through the 64 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: back door and off the two ran. Arlow and Callum 65 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: were a little bit faster than their grandpa, but their 66 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: grandpa loved seeing them run and race. As the three 67 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: of them all started heading west on the property, they 68 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: could see up ahead exactly what their grandpa was talking about. Callum, 69 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: do you see all that stuff? Well, look at all 70 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: those vines, and wow, it's so thick, said Arlow. Callum 71 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: was the first one there and said, guys, look at this. 72 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: It's like a wall of ivy and sticks and trees 73 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: and I can't even get through. Well, I brought some 74 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: pruning shears with me. Let's let's see if we can 75 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: cut our way through, said their grandpa as he started 76 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: snipping away at the ivy and the leaves. Arlow and 77 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: Callum grabbed on the branches and pulled them out of 78 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: the way. They were right. It was like a complete 79 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: total wall that was way too thick to crawl your 80 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: way through. The only way in was to cut a 81 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: path in. As their grandpa was trail blazing and cutting 82 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: his way through he formed a little bit of a 83 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: tunnel that allowed them to maybe squeeze through. Harlow, Callum, 84 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: why don't why don't you guys crawl in first and 85 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: take a look in there. Callum's eyes were really big. Uh, 86 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: I don't know what if there's some creepy crawleys in there, Harlow, 87 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: you go first. Arlow took a deep breath and rolled 88 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 1: up his sleeves. He got on all fours and started 89 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: to crawl his way in. Yeah, there's there are some 90 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: spider webs. Oh, there's a big one. He grabbed a 91 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: stick and poked the spider web out of the way. There. Okay, 92 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: it kind of opens up ahead up here. Holy smokes, guys, 93 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: you're not gonna believe this, shouted Arlow. The path that 94 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: Arlow had been crawling through had finally opened up into 95 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 1: a bigger section. He was now completely surrounded. He was 96 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 1: kind of like a forest, but it was more like 97 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 1: a dome, a dome of ivy and leaves and branches. 98 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: But inside was something that he never expected. Harlow, are 99 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 1: you okay in there? We're coming, shouted the grandpa from outside. 100 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: It only took a few more seconds before Callum and 101 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: their grandpa rolled into that room that Arlo was in. WHOA, 102 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: holy oh wow. It was at that moment that all 103 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: three of them were now standing inside of this forest dome. 104 00:06:53,240 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: But inside there stood an Is that an RV? Said Callum. 105 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: It was. It was like a really old RV. Do 106 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: you know what an RV is? Yeah, it's like it's 107 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: like a something you can drive and live in inside. 108 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: It's really cool if you want to go on like 109 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: long road trip adventures. And well, this one was silver 110 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: and it was really old and covered in some ivy 111 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: and start and sticks and stuff. But it was very 112 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: surprising that this was there. Boys, I've I've never owned 113 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: an RV myself, and I don't even know where this 114 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: came from. Arlow immediately started pulling the ivy and leaves 115 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: and stuff off of the door so that they could 116 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: open it. Ugh, there this old dupe. He finally got 117 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: everything pulled off the door to the RV so that 118 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: they could open it. Grandpa, do you want to do it? 119 00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: There could be like a skeleton inside, said Callum. All right, boys, 120 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: stand back. Their grandpa grabbed onto the door handle and 121 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: as the door swung opened, they were instantly hit with 122 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: a wall of dust. Wow, look inside there, said their grandpa. 123 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: Arlow and Callum poked their heads in the door and 124 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: looked around. It was a very strange looking RV, not 125 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: a normal one. There were lots of screens and buttons, 126 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 1: but everything was very old. All right, doesn't look like 127 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 1: there's any skeletons in here. Arlow jumped in, with Callum 128 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 1: close behind. Look at all these buttons, and holy smokes, 129 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: what is this thing? Callum said. As they searched around 130 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: and looked around, it was pretty amazing. All right, Well, 131 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: just be careful to not touch anything. I don't know 132 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: what this is going to do, said their grandpa, and 133 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 1: just then Callum accidentally bumped into one of the buttons. Instantly, 134 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 1: the whole inside of the RV was filled with all 135 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: these bright, flashing lights, and the RV started to shake 136 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: and buzz, and then it started to fly off of 137 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: the ground. B everybody, hold on and sit down. Arlow 138 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: and Callum jumped into some seats, followed by their grandpa, 139 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 1: who buckled in and instantly the RV was now floating 140 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: over the forest. Their grandpa jumped into the driver's seat, 141 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: leaned back and said, all right, do you guys want 142 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: to see what she can do. Yes, let's go, shouted 143 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: Arlow and Callum together, and off they blasted. This RV 144 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: was a actually some kind of magical RV that could 145 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: fly around. And even though this is the end of 146 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: our story, it's only the beginning of Arlow and Callum's 147 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: great RV adventure with their Grandpa the end.
