Trip Traditions

On the way to Florida to see Grandpa and Grandma Reed,
Bret and Dad stopped at Elizabeth Town, KY, to puchase
locally made Ale-8. (Uncle Sam, our real uncle - not the
government kind, is at fault for introducing us to this addiction.)
Sarah, Dad is the photographer for this post.

If you look very, very closely at his left hand, you can see
the stuffed animal that Bret stole, I mean won, single
handedly at WallyMart. He probably used 2 quarters,
5 max, to snatch that beauty. This is not technically
a "trip tradition." This is an "anywhere there is a Claw
Machine Bret wins an animal" traditon.

I regret to inform the readers about some of the misleading facts in this post. While I am in fact awesome, I remain imperfect. I do not win every claw game or even attempt every claw game. Claw games are unwinnable attractions meant solely for entertainment. They are in no way a means to beat the system or pull one over on the house. I suggest to the readers that they find something random that entertains them and the people around them and do it often. Laughter is still the best medicine. Amount of quarters spent should be the least of your worries. Should you take up the "claw" game on a regular basis I suggest that you not collect the items won but give them to someone in need of a smile. Last but most importantly always remember that "The Claw decides who will go and who will stay".
