How about now?
Yesterday, this scene was all too familiar! We took a spur of the moment road trip to the Indiana Sand Dunes (so fun!). After packing up the car to head back home, we had driven a mile out of the park when we heard the oddest crashing sound.
Steve: "What was that?" as we all turn our heads to look behind us...
Kerri, as true Hicken: "THE PICTIONARY CARDS!!!!!!!!" as we saw them flying off the back of the car one by one and scatter on the highway!
Steve quickly turned the car around and parked so that I could jump out and pick them all up...how could we play 25,000 word pyramid in the car with no pictionary cards? (not to mention playing pictionary when we got home would also have proven difficult). Mary's line in all this was classic, too: "And am I supposed to get out and HELP you pick up all these cards?" Yes, Mary, that's exactly what you were supposed to do!
Oh, this whole story makes me laugh inside because it is SOO typical Hicken Road Trips! EVERY year without fail we would have Pictionary Cards, Trivial Pursuit Cards, or my mom's purse fly off the top of our filled-to-the-brim station wagon and over the pop-up trailer...If it wasn't for the 2 or 3 eye-witnesses that were facing backwards in the way-way back seat, many cards would have been lost...but, I can't remember a time we DIDN'T stop to gather them all up. What a riot!
And yes, we had a great time playing 25,000 word pyramid in the car...although the girls could only manage to win ONCE out of who knows how many rounds...
Oh yeah, did I mention this adventure was KID FREE?? Yep, we had babysitters for the chillin's and got to play on the dunes and in the waves as real grown ups! THANKS MOM MOSOLINO!

Kerri, so I'm finally commenting on your blog. I'm so glad we went and picked up the cards because then we got to be royally spanked by the boys in 25,000 word pyramid. It was pretty classic being on the side of the road picking up 1000 of cards. Such a great day and we (the sonnes) are so glad we got to share the weekend-of-fun with you (and that it was kid free!!!)
Um, what is 25,000 word pyramid?
25,000 word pyramid is SUCH a fun tournament party game!! Basically, you describe a word and hae your partner guess it...it's like taboo but without the list of words you can't say. You have to do 10 words, and your partner has to do 10 words while racing the other teams. SO FUN! With a big group it becomes a tournament with the winners circle and switching partners and all, and its oh so fun!
