程度の副詞

I don't know, I think they're pretty cool.

the minefield of dog poop that people didn't pick up.

because you can keep layering until you're warm,

but in the heat you can only get so naked.

yeah, we also don't like to live in a volcano.

we decided to do a layover to save some money.

that my brother Jax and my passports were EXPIRED.

I'm gonna let you all through and inform your layover about what's happening, but get those renewed soon."

So we were like yay crisis averted!  But wait, there's still 95% of the video left!

That's because we were WRONG. We landed in Minneapolis, and the people said "Hey, these passports are expired."

Obviously. "Oh yeah, we're sorry about that, the man at the Phoenix Airport

let us off with a warning and said he contacted you about everything and-"

"Well, crap, I think we're actually stuck in Minneapolis."

"I guess this is our new home now, get used to it kids."

"expired" children stranded in this obscure city. We went to a pharmacy which for some reason also takes passport photos

But we had to wait until the passport place opened the next morning. Mom was having an aneurysm panic attack

But didn't want us to worry so she was like "Hey kiddos time for an adventure!"

She took us to the Mall of America which is the biggest, craziest mall in America with 4 floors of shops,

entertainment, a mirror maze, bowling, roller coasters, aquarium

I've never seen anything like it.  There were so many things to do; how could we choose what to do first?

Roller coasters in a mall, four floors, a kid's paradise? People get married in that mall! (✿◠‿◠)

We ate at the food court for 20 minutes and left because it was closing for the night.

We found a hotel and slept in our clothes even though we had our luggage. I remember on the light rail

I said to mom "You know.. I really like it here!" like the oblivious child I was not knowing the weight of the actual circumstances

Having a grand old time listening to [my] High School Musical playlist on an iPod and playing with my stuffed animals (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

I frickin' *loved* stuffed animals. As a kid I couldn't sleep without them

My favorites were Raoole the Mouse and Ringo the Raccoon.

luckily, Minneapolis is one of the few places that has one day turnaround for

passports.  For the cost of an arm, a leg and your entire savings.  ( > &Dcy; < )

So in the morning we had to check out of the hotel, run to the passport place, and make it to the airport in time

for our new flight.  It's gonna be a tight schedule...

We were on our way to get the passports when in the middle of transit I realized...

"I forgot my stuffed animals in the hotel."

"But- but- no, it's alright, I don't- I don't need 'em; it's okay, really, it's not a big deal!"

I left Raoole and Ringo in the hotel and Mom was already having a mental stress breakdown and I was not at all wanting to

contribute to any more of that, but mom, being the kick-butt awesome parent she is, defeatedly pulled out her phone.

"Hello, yes, we just checked out this morning. Would you check Room 421 to see if there's two stuffed animals in there?"

"Um, ma'am, there's someone currently occupying that room... ?"

And that was super weird to hear because we literally just left the hotel; how did someone already fill up the room?

Turns out we just called the wrong hotel ¯\_(ヅ)_/¯ so we got transferred to the right one and they said they'd hold them for us to

quickly pick up.  So now the schedule was:

Arrive at the passport place right as it opens at 8:00 a.m.,

Get passports, run back to the hotel to grab Raoole and Ringo, rush to the airport before our 1:00 p.m.

flight (and I'd also like to point out that the last shuttle to the airport leaves at 12 p.m.

so if we miss that shuttle we're screwed!  Remember, things were different back in the days of 2012 B.U.

"Before Uber."  Back then, the idea of paying to jump in a car with an

unlicensed stranger wasn't very popular.)

At the passport place, we walked up to the desk and the first thing they said was:
