Cha 3.4 Time for a Vacation

Welcome back to the Sandy LisonB legacy where we are watching the 4th generation grow up.
We last left this family right in the middle of Cole's birthday. (child #2) Let's watch him finish his growth spurt into childhood.
me: no, no, Blond Chick, don't get in the way or anything!
Blond Chick: I was here with Avri and thought I'd get right on into the mix.

Cole: I still have hands!
me: and fugly hair, too.
*Cheese*

Cole gets a makeover.

Time to paint the legacy portrait.

Aribeth finishes it up quickly (thanks to her maxed out creativity points)

Sandy, Esther and now, Aribeth. Yay!

me: Okay, Esther. This is an odd place to play your gameboy.
Esther: Well, I had nothing better to do...I've maxed all skills out.
me: well, not all...but....

Cole's first day of school.
Me: how did you do?
Cole: I killed it! I walked right in and said, "hey, Teach! Gi'me an A."

me: I see "the Teach" complied?
Cole: I don't understand.
me: yeah, I hear that from all the little boys and girls.

Cole: I'm not so keen on this homework stuff.

Family dinner
Gpa Neil: I don't like the snow! It snows a lot in the winter, and I think we should take a vacation.
me: me too!

me: what are you boys up to?
It looks like Orbit is wondering the same thing.

Cole: *heh heh*

Sorry, I skipped the suds...oops!
Well, it's time for vacation...get ready to be done with the coats for a while!

And the destination?
The tropics!
Aribeth: first things first! Sandcastle building time.
Orbit: right there? I'm thinking over here is better.

Family portrait time! (Esther took the picture)

Aribeth "wanted" to swim in the ocean, so in she went.
me: you know, it's safer to swim with a buddy, in the day time.

Avri gets a massage.

The boys play in the hammocks

me: HEY! YOU! Creepy stalker guy! GTFO!

Darius relaxes

Waiting for a native dish to be served

Oh look, it's a pineapple treat.

Aribeth: we're checking out.
BellBoy: sign here and be on your way.

BellBoy: What?

Heading out to the family vacation home.

Visiting the ancient ruins

me: What are you doing, Avri?
Avri: *sneak* *sneak* *sneak*

Avri: * * * *

Avri: heh, heh!
me: uh......

Who disturbs my slumber?

The punishment for disturbing my eternal sleep is.....DEATH.....BY LAVA!

Avri: uh, oops. Gosh.....uh, sorry.

More exploring takes us to a pirate ship.

Orbit: Walk the plank you sinner!

me: ha ha ha ha!
Orbit: it's not funny! I almost fell off!

Cole: Take that, Fencing-Stick-Pirate!

Demetrius: Man the bow! You! Invisible pirate!

Demetrius: oh, you saw me, huh?

Orbit "plunders" the captain's quarters.....
So this is where I'll leave off......

Cha 3.3 Alien Return

Welcome back to the Aeric/Atina Legacy!
It's been another hiatus, but the game moves on.

We re-enter the home to find out how things are going.
Christina: you take another hiatus, and you'll have to answer to ME!

G-pa Bastion takes Dylan out to play in the snow.
Dylan: Snow! yay!
Bastion: Snow! yay!...... help me up.

I kept hearing the low growl from the speakers and it took me a while to find that it was coming from Abigail.
love it!

It's time to get another dog for the family. Evey body 'wants' it...so Puppy Cocoa arrives.

Christina: cuddles for my Cocoa!

Abigail has a cute grin...and she really liked little Cocoa.

Abigail: *sniff* *sniff* *lick*

Bastion hasn't quite taken to Cocoa.

Dylan has....
Dylan: GOGGY!

Dustin waits to be picked up in the crib.

Dustin's turn to grow up.
Johnston: up you go, Sparkly Pants!

Burst!

Christina: *smiles*
Looks like another birthday.

woot woot. *yawn*
uh, more enthusiasm needed.

Christina: *blow*
Dylan: *heeeee*

Sparklies

Dylan's child makeover. What a cutie, but kind of generic.

Dylan: jen-eric! *punch* who's jen-eric! *punch* I'm not jen-eric. *punch* What does it mean anyway...*punch*

Dustin learns stuff:

Poor Bastion...it's always the same thing.

toddler Dustin spam:

Dylan: I don't like school.

me: well, Serenity is a new friend, right?

Dylan ditches Serenity for a hug from Mom

Christina needs a logic skill, so I send her out to watch the sky, and I almost missed it!

Christina: What IS that light?! *squint*

Christina: Oh my god! I've heard stories! Save me!

me: holding on won't help. sorry!

Christina: I'm scared!

Aliens: Hello, Granddaughter of Aeric.

that's right! TWICE, he visited the aliens.

Everybody seems aware that Christina is gone...No one went out to rescue her.

Dustin: googgy!

Oh, NOW you respond, Johnston!

Aliens: it was nice 'meeting' you, Christina, Granddaughter of Aeric. Now out you go.

Christina: I can't believe it happened to me.
me: me neither....seems to run in the family, though.

Christina: I'm so mad and embarrassed!

With all the commotion, Dustin was left to his own devices

Dustin: This bed is just.....

Dustin: ...just right! zzzzzzZZZZzzzz

Maybe with a little help, Dylan's grades will go up. Mallory, get on that, will you?

What! Wait! What?

Grim: wanna stick?
Johnston: I can't watch! *sob*

Grim: well, that's done. Time for dinner.
Johnston: I can't watch....is it over?

yeah, right at that moment, Cocoa grows up to an odd looking adult dog.


Dylan: don't listen to her. She said I was 'jen-eric,' whatever that is.

Christina: before you go, Sim Goddess Tina, let me get you some oranges.
Well, it's that time again....time to say good bye.....I have a ton of other pictures for this and the other legacy families, so I won't make such a delay for the next entry.
