hey "mr. griswald"....looks like your "idea" worked!!!....what a deal....the tank is full...and..i don't see a bunch of gasoline laying on the ground...good thing we had all that purple duct tape...all of it made it from the station...to the tank!!!..oh...sorry..didn't mean to sound so surprised...it's just...well...you know how some of your idea's go.... teehee...right....should have said...how they don't go!!..but...this one worked...so..all the rest don't matter....

what do you say "mr. griswald"...shall we get this "magic bus" ready to go..we have quite a few "adkinette's" who are waiting for us....we even have to "try" out your time machine.....are you sure it will go back to the 1700's without any problems???...we won't end up in some other century will we???..ok...ok...i'll trust you...(oh please mr, genie....be ready to save us....don't let us get lost back in time...)....your right..your on a roll..ok....here we go......

wow....the ol' "magic bus" is really running great "mr. griswald" ...looks like all your hard work has certainly paid off...is it my imagination..or are we "flying" faster than usual???......oh...uh ....yeah..guess getting it to go over 100 miles an hour is prety good..sure hope all those lights are super glued really good...on the sides of the bus...would hate to have to go back and try to find them....instead of laying along the side of the road..they will all be hanging from the trees!!!....

ok...i think we need to make a turn up here....we're stopping to get kat first....and..if i remember right...she lives two long roads...14 cornfields..and..three.no...make that four bars from us....ahhhh...here it is....the last bar....oh look...there she is...haha...looks like kat is going to be doing "lots" of drinking again this trip....she now has two beverage holders attached to the top of her hat!!!hey kat....wow..duck...i think "mr.griswald" wants to borrow your hat..oh...hey...aren't you smart....look "mr. griswald".. kat brought you your own beverage hat....and....it's got lots of coffee...just the way you like it...i see you brought extra squirt with you kat...just in case they don't have any squirt in biloxi....good thinking...all set kat...better make sure you tape yourself in nice and tight..."mr.griswald" has been playing with the engine again...he has the speed control set at 100mph.... heehee...yep..just like he did our first year at fan fair...and..he "super-dupered" up my w/chair....will never forget the look on pat's and katie's faces when i hit the switch...didn't think you guys were ever going to get me stopped...we can't always count on that "nice big hand" to save us!!....there you go...three times around with the duct tape should secure us both pretty good....ok "mr. griswald"...we're all set.....so....let your lead foot get us going!!!!

uhhh..kat??..i don't think those straws on your beverage hat are suppose to be wound around your neck...and ...hanging down your back are they???...heehee...guess that is what happens to a beverage hat when it goes over 100 mph!!!!......here...let's see if we can get it straightened around the right way...what??....oh... na...we'll just leave "mr.griswald's" hat that way...he'll never know till he gets thirsty!!!...

hey....look who is sitting behind us...do you remember stopping to pick up vicki and katie???....me either...wow... look...everyone else is here too..."mr. griswald"????....when did you stop and pick up the rest of the "adkinette's"?? you didn't???...well...that means only one thing...."mr.genie" was watching out for us again ladies ... no..that's ok "mr.griswald"...keep on driving...yep..just keep following your little map...we're heading in the right direction ...phew...that was a close one..not quite sure where we would have ended up if we wouldn't have been saved by "mr. genie"... you ladies alright back there???.....good...looks like everyone is here....elise and tracey...you ladies feeling ok???....can you hear me from under all those blankets???...heeheee....good...just keep snuggled up till we reach biloxi...then "nurse honnebunns" will help you....

i think you'll be riding with me tonite...no...don't worry...my "super-duper" speed control isn't working on my chair..we will be safe!!!!....now..let's see if we can get us the rest of the way...all in one piece...ohhhh...look out the window ladies....the sign says.. "biloxi"...i do believe we are here.....all in one piece too....

whoahh.....there you go "mr. griswald"..nice stop!!!....sure hope the back of the bus doesn't hit the front while trying to catch up..maybe we better make a real fast departure from the bus... hurry girls...there...sorry about that...going to have to unplug the new "speed control"..what is it with men and going fast?..oh well....we'll worry about that later..

it's time to get us all together...and...get us to trace... johnna will you and kathryn do a head count....don't want to leave anyone on the bus...wouldn't want them to be there to get in between "mr. griswald" and his food stash...once he gets untangled from his beverage hat...he will be heading back to start eating...and..we don't want to be here when he finds out one of his packages of oreo's is missing....

alrighty johnna...everyone's here....got your "tracin" bag's ready??...kat and pat and kim..will you guys grab a "newbie"....and...keep them with you tonite...we wouldn't want to loose them...ok...let's join hands...and..get them heals clicking...you know the words..... "take us to trace....take us to trace..take us to trace!!!!"....

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...plunk....gee....that was not a very soft landing...everyone still got all their parts???..heehee... we're not complaining "mr.genie"....not at all...thanks again for the ride.... boy..i think he must be in a hurry to get back to the bus so he and "mr.griswald" can dig into the food that is stashed in the back!!!...well...you guys enjoy all that food...while we go and enjoy "the man"!!...

before we start our climb out of tammy's pocket...i have some thing for you "newbies"....if i can find them..i know tammy said she got them for me...let's see....there aren't many places to hide anything in here....ouch....oh..haha.. guess what..i just found what i was looking for..only didn't know it was in a box...and.. what a little box it is.... ok...ann...would you...ann...what is that you are wearing???....oh...heehee.. yep..i can see that now...you must have known the ride was going to be alittle bumpy....so bumpy your blonde helmet is sitting crooked on your head... here..let's get it straight..boy...must be the night for fixing hats!!..there...your all set..now..could you help me get this box open... thank you ma'am....here we go....just a little prize every "adkinette" has to have...these are things we have accumulated over the last few years....

here is a 'trace fan' for you..yep..that's him....right there in your face...cooling you off...and...this "trace towel" will always keep you nice and warm...don't ya just love having him on both sides..ahhh....the hugs he gives....oh..here are your own... specially made with your name on them...hot pink undies...can't go center stage with out them...yes brandy..we'll give you a minute to put them on...good job katie...they look great girls... and..here we go...last but not least....are these little flashlights.... they will come in real handy up there on stage....put those goodies in your "tracin bag" so you'll always have them...now..i think it is time to get out of this pocket...and...let the fun begin...

hey tammy....nice to see ya....thanks for the ride in.... and..for the big pocket...for a minute there...i wasn't sure we were going to get out of it..but.."mr.griswald" came thru again..he  packed a slinky in my "tracin bag"...amazingly it worked great...everyone got on a piece of it...and.."booowing"...here we are!!!...guess i'll have to get him some more oreo's...got to keep him happy!!...

so...this is biloxi huh??...well...not bad....sure are lots of people here...hey....hang on girls...if you keep pulling on me...we all might end up back in the pocket!!!...alright...guess we better let them all loose huh tammy...you and i are going to have to keep elise and tracey with us tonite...don't think they are up to doing center stage tonite....wait......hey...where did they go??...they were just here...oh..heehee...look...nurse honnebunns brought along a wagon for them....and..they are all wrapped up in their "trace towels"...well..guess if the nurse says their going..their going...looks like its just me and you tammy...oh...and...is that your friend stacy???....good..the more the merrier...wow...sure didn't take them long to get down the aisle and to the side of the stage....wonder who is going to help them up now that steve isn't up there...can you see who that is standing off to the side there???...me either...oh well...looks like who ever it was has gotten them up..and..there they go....all 30 of them!!!...and..there go the lights....i do believe it's show time!!!!!

am i good or what..."big time"....he has them going already..... not wasting any time tonite i see..... oh...heehee....nurse honnebunns has done a quick change and is now "adkinette" dance leader!!!....this song always gets her going....i think she has been doing some more practicing.....i have never seen these moves before ....ahhhh....don't think anyone has seen them..but the others..they just know when to do what it is their doing... ohhhhh...now that was an interesting move..right time with the..."babababig" baby....they are good!!!....even brandy and sharie are staying up with them....must be some "magic" in them hot pink pants....it's got to be the "adkinette's" that's written on them!!!...oh..and..now it's off to do whatever..oops...boy..there is that "nice big hand" again...did you see it pick up darlene and kim???...huh...wonder who is at the other end of that hand???...

hey tammy...look over at pat....can you see what she is doing???....me either..it scares me when they go and hide behind those speakers....it can only mean one thing...TROUBLE!!!! heehee....here comes ann...knew she couldn't stay behind that speaker once he started singing "her" song...look at her go.... guess we will have to call this her "blonde helmet" dance.... oh..and..she has two flashlights...using them as tailights... and...they are just a blinking!!!..she has definitely been working on this....she has a move for every line....don't ya love all those hand movements!!....haha...she looks like she should be singing for the "temptations" for something!!!...she better be careful chomping on that gum like she is...she is going to bite something.. .. oh...and..she even has blue nailpolish on!!!..way to go ann!!!!...i think trace just might sign her on...to be one of his backup singers....teehee....i can't believe it..she is going crazy up there... go ann.. go....oh no....there goes her helmet!!...i think she should have taken it off before she started doing her thing...oops ...ouch...her little piggies are going to be sore in the morning... that helmet weighs a ton!!!...who is it that just tossed a piece of rope???....who ever it was hit the spot....right over her head.. and...down to her waist...oh no...looks like the rest of the "adkinette's" are going to play onesided "tug of war" with her....there she goes...bye ann!!!!!

i'm almost afraid to see what they plan to do with that rope...once they get ann out of it that is....i hope they are going to take ann out of the rope..huh..now..how did her blonde helmet get back on her head???.....i know she didn't do it..her hands are inside the rope with the rest of her....you saw it tammy???..who put it back?...all you saw was that "nice big hand"...hummmm....this is becoming a real "mystery"....we're going to have to really pay attention...keep our eyes on the stage...haha...i know..how silly of me..where else would they be huh!!!...well..maybe you can get a picture of it the next time it shows up...ahhhhhhhhhhh.....now i know what they are going to do with that rope...and..thankfully they have let ann out....do you see those little "itty-bitty" spot way up there on the edge of the awning tammy???....no...over there.. yep..that's the right spot...i do believe those little spot's are called shelli and jeanne...and..if i'm right...what they have in their "little" hands is one end of the rope...oh...i see two more sets of hands way up there...yep...there is...it's joan and regina....looks like they are trying to tie it down...oh please let them get it tied tight enough....pretty please..

"mr.genie" are you listening?....ohhh...and..look down at the microphone pole tammy....do you see a bunch of little "adkinette's" running around it....can you see who is doing the tying of that end???.....check up at the top....i can see shelly... debbie...kim and...angela...they have tried this one before... and..it is a "favorite" trick of theirs...only this time they are starting way...way up there....the line is getting longer up there.... i hope someone has the "newbies" by hand...this is going to be one ride they are never going to forget!!..what they are about to do tammy is the famous....rope slide to the microphone pole....i am going to have to close my eyes...i can't bear to watch!!!!... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....oh...tammy...tell me...did they all make it??...oh...good...phew....i am so afraid one of them is going to go flying one of these times.....and..it's a very long fall....

hahaha...now do you see what they all had in mind.... someone gave them some "inside" information...telling them the line up of songs...cause this trick they always save for one very special song...and...here it comes...can see trace starting to warm up to it already!!!..oh..i know tammy...that is one time i really wish i was up there with them...got your camera ready...and...aimed at the right "spot"????...keep those hands steady girl...you are not going to want to miss this picture...ready...set...go!!!!

well...they still can do it.....and...no causalities either!!!...i see they are all in place and...waiting for some "mo-jo-ing" to begin!!!!....ahhhhhh.....they won't be disappointed i see....trace must be feeling pretty good tonite....keep a clicking tammy....the best is yet to come....... ohhhhhh... don't ya just love "mo-jo-ing"????....ummmm..there is nothing like it anywhere.....yikkkesss...they better stop "mo-jo-ing" with him...or they all are going to end up on their little "hot pink" fannies!!!!...watch out ladies....he's going to grab the..pole!!!...hang on!!!......heehee....good thing they all had that big hand wrapped...hey!!!!!...do you think????..na.... couldn't be...could it....tammy..does that look like...no...no way.....it has to be some other "nice big hand" doing the rescuing tonite...right?...right!!...looks like they  are having such a good time up there with trace..they are going to stick around for one more song....

ahhhhh..and..it is a slow one...."dreaming out loud"...now that is what "dreams" are all about....this dream will stick with them all...for a very long time....poor trace...i don't think they are ready to come down yet....i see some of them have decided to move up to the brim of his hat...that is another favorite place of theirs.... must be they like the "view" from up there....i don't think i would mind sitting up there...it looks like susy...kitty...vicki and...terri are getting into this "adkinette" stuff....is that susy who is singing along with trace?....oh..heeehee....careful trace..don't tip your head too far back...or you will dump a bunch of  little ladies on the stage....they must be doing alot of moving around up there... he keeps tilting his head from side to side..like he is trying to shake whatever is on his head!!!!...oh..if he only knew!!!....

ahhhh.....here comes pat...with cindy and shelly and sharie .. kathryn joining her...out comes pats phone!...one of these days she is going to get an answer when she calls that number....634-5789....hey..what is that they are hanging down in front of his face????....oh no....it almost went in his mouth!!!..they will loose that number if their not careful...then pat will never get thru!!!...keep dialing pat!!

look out ladies....ohhhhhhhh....down they go....one too many shakes of the head...heehee...they are getting pretty good at sliding down that pole....oh..those poor "newbies"...vicki and brandy are hanging on tight...so tight...i think they are cutting off johnna..kat's and ann's air...duck katie and angela...here comes ann's blonde helmet...and...kat's beverage hat is right behind it..... see...there it is again!!!...that "nice big hand"....it caught both hats before it landed on the "adkinette's" on the stage...that is one "guardian hand"...we have got to find out who it is attached to!!!!..but..i don't think now is the time...

i think the show is coming to an end...yep...there go the lights!!!! look at all those lighters out there...they almost have the whole place lit up!!!....perfect way to end the show...i just love this song....i sure hope all of the "adkinette's" can see where their going up there....i can't see them...and..i don't think we need anyone to get stuck under those "big boots!"!!...well..heehee ..guess your right tammy...it might not be so bad after all....could be a lot worse huh!!!....oh good....here they come...and ..look... they are riding in tow wagons....half of them have joined tracey and elise in one..and...looks like the rest are in the other...except poor jeanne and dana...they got stuck pulling the wagons...we better make sure they get the up front seats on the bus...so they don't have to walk all the way to the back...will you look at all those signs they are waving tammy!!!....'we love trace'....'more trace'.....'trace is the best'....'we love "mo-jo-ing"'...' "adkinette's" are the best trace fans'!!!!...cute girls..real cute!!!...

looks like they are planning on following him backstage... yep..there they go..with the "newbies"leading the way!!...won't be long now before the "tracin zombie" mode takes over.....good thing jeanne has patrica and regina to help her pull that wagon... they look like they are still dancin!!!...debbie and tracy have jumped out of their wagon to help dana too....guess we better make sure we save the first three seats up front!!....it looks like the crowd is thining so we should be able to head for the bus... hopefully we will catch up the the wagons...so we can make sure the "newbies" get on ok!!!.....i'm so glad you were able to come tonite tammy...we all were more than ready for one of our adventures....i know it's been way too long for me!!!....i think we're going in the right direction... you can hear them way out here!!...susy is still singing..and has lots of help...these girls sound alot better up on stage than they do out here....here we are...glad to see the "magic bus" is still here....was hoping "mr. griswald" wouldn't have to go out and get somemore to eat!!!....
