We have returned from a week's vacay camping at the cottage. Each year we spend some time at Big Whitefish Lake with Dan's family. This year was different because we borrowed the coveted, most magnificent, extendo, motorhome lovingly referred to as "The Mallard"
What she lacks in beauty and pleasant aroma, she more than makes up for in space and surround sound entertainment. The kids could hardly wait to hop in watch movies. Movies? Yes. My cousins (the fortunate owners) have rigged up a DVD player with surround sound speakers. Dan was so manly driving that big rig down the highway at a cool 60MPH. I enjoyed the full size mattress in the back and ample closet room. She's a beaute!!!
Many thanks to Carl and Nute for use of the 1987 Mallard for the week. I think I might want to keep her.
We had a great time camping at the cottage!!!
Driving the Mallard. Can you find the Duct tape?
Full Surround Sound Experience
It really is gigantic.
oh yes.

That last picture leaves me speechless.
Did not expect that one.
This is one of my favorite posts!
"What she lacks in beauty and pleasant aroma, she more than makes up for in space and surround sound entertainment"
That's a quote I will cherish,
"old people although dangerous behind the wheel...."
and the last picture, I have tears rolling down my face
Oh, that there is an RV!
Now, don't get to attached to it, we're taking it with us when we leave here next month
My friends refer to it as "The Duck".
Crocket, get away from that thing and get back under cover with Tubbs
Please take note of the flawless T.V. installation by Mickey Shore Electronics!!
checking your blog with Arianna and Stella by my side! Love the pictures, especially the one of Uncle Dan looking like "Elvis"!
We also found the duct tape and we think it will be a while before Chase and Drew can handle the Mallard on the road! What a machine!
Had a great time and thank your cousin for letting you use the Mallard. Sure made things a little less crowded in the cottage.
Love you and looking forward to some pictures of our vacation at the lake.
Love you, Mom, Arianna and Stella

Chelle,
Judging by the last picture, it is time to get Danno a new suit! That look went out oh let's say back in the 80's!
Seriously, how many times a year does Dan haul out that outfit. I feel like it's more than you realize. LOVE IT!!
Is the music of choice the Miami Vice theme song as you roll down the road at 60 mph?
Oh chelle, that's a beauty, I wish we had something like the Mallard to borrow. LOL
Chase, Drew, Joy and family. Thanks for the note and gift cards to Lowes. We can sure use those with the Duck. We are thinking about driving it to Lowes and working on it in the parking lot. Then we won't forget any parts.
I am glad you enjoyed it.
Maybe you can get some items to fix that entertainment system installation.
Fix what?
Thanks for the gift cards, I like Jimmie Johnson better than Tony Stewart
I believe Danno can make any RV look good.
