There have been recent developments with the Loud family during Season 3 so this story is being rewritten to include these developments. Since going on vacation in the special "Tripped", that must have been after school ended for the summer, so in this story Lynn Sr. opened his restaurant before the family went on vacation.

June 8th

"Ten…nine…eight…seven…six…five…four…three…two…one," Lincoln, Clyde, Rusty and most of their classmates whispered as they tried not to look at the time on the classroom clock.

"BBRIINNGG!" The clock on the wall showed one p.m.

Instantly every student rose out of their chairs and emitted a round of cheers and hurrahs as they raced out of the classroom towards their lockers. 'No more school, no more school," some kids chanted joyfully. Their summer vacation had begun today.

As best friends Lincoln and Clyde rushed to their lockers among the crowd of grateful students some kids started talking about the plans they or their parents had in store for them during the two and a half months of summer. This was the last day for Clyde, Lincoln and their classmates at Royal Woods Elementary because in late August they would be starting a new chapter of their academic career at Royal Woods Middle School.

Lincoln and Clyde opened their lockers, removed some items and placed them in their backpacks. They didn't take long to empty their lockers since every year they always made sure to clear their lockers a little at a time during the last four days of school. It took ten seconds for Lincoln to remove the other items and place them in his backpack.

"Done," Lincoln declared in a slight boastful manner as he closed his locker.

"Me too," Clyde declared while zipping up his backpack. A friend Stella approached them.

"Hey guys I wish the both of you a nice summer," she told them.

"Thanks Stella," both boys said simultaneously.

"I wish you a safe journey, Stella," Clyde said

"Me too remember to bring back souvenirs for us," Lincoln said.

Stella was traveling with her family to the Philippines to attend a relatives wedding in three days and would spend two weeks over there.

"I will, thanks guys, she replied graciously, then added, "Well I have to clear my locker bye

"Bye Stella," they said together before she departed.

As Lincoln and Clyde walked through the doors of Royal Woods Elementary school for the last time, they noticed one of Clyde's dads car parked a few feet away. Lincoln's friend informed him that morning before classes started that Harold would pick them up after school so that they could go home in comfort.

"Bye Stella, both boys said simultaneously before rushing over to the red vehicle and climbed into the back seat.

"Hello dad," Clyde chimed.

"Hello Mr. McBride," Lincoln added.

"How was your last day at school kids?" Harold asked them. After telling their stories they started talking excitedly about their plans for the summer. Lincoln got his first summer job working three days a week for four hours each day at the restaurant his dad Lynn Sr. just opened. Harold dropped them off at the McBride residence before heading back to his job. Lincoln would spend some hours hanging out with Clyde playing video games since the Loud's were leaving tomorrow for a long awaited family vacation, then walk home for some relaxation before dinnertime. The restaurant Lynn's Table would be closed for the entire week to give the other employees the week off.

Later at the Loud House…

"Kids, dinner's ready," Lynn Sr. called from the bottom of the stairs. Within seconds Lincoln's sisters except Lily rushed down the stairs. Lincoln waited until the dust cleared before going downstairs.

"What are we having for dinner," Lana questioned her dad as the children entered the dining room.

"I bought home spaghetti and meatballs from the restaurant," Lynn Sr. responded.

Lincoln and his sisters sat down. That moment their mother Rita arrived home from her job as a dental assistant. While everyone enjoyed their meal the parents asked a few questions about their day at school. Once everyone had finished their delicious meal, the children were about to rush off when Rita spoke.

"Wait a moment, kids your father and I have to discuss some important matters," Rita told her kids.

"First, we'd like to mention that today was Lincolns last day at elementary school and that we are proud of him," Rita began.

Two days before, Lori attended her graduation ceremony at the high school.

The sisters all gave their congratulations to their brother.

"The next matter is about our upcoming family vacation," Lynn Sr. said.

(At this moment, Lynn Sr. talks about the upcoming vacation that's going to happen in the Loud House special "Tripped.")

"Remember we're leaving tomorrow so get to bed early," Rita reminded them.

Later…

While everyone were settled in their bedrooms, Lynn Jr was laying in bed bouncing her basketball on the wall on front of her.

"Lynn could you stop doing that and get some sleep," Lucy grumbled to her sister roommate Lynn.

"I can't sleep, I'm too excited about going on vacation," Lynn responded

"Sigh, could you at least find something quieter to do?" Lucy asked Lynn.

"Okay, okay," Lynn grumbled and placed the ball beside her bed.

She started doing some silent pushups on the floor and after thirty seconds decided getting a warm glass of milk might get her in the mood for sleep.

The next day…Saturday 9th

The Loud family leaves for the family vacation taking place in the Loud House special 'Tripped'.

The family was unaware of the fact that a neighbor who lived in the house across from 1216 Franklin Avenue was watching the Loud's from her living room window.

"Good, they're leaving." she thought, then became surprised when Rita left the van and rushed back inside the house.

"Oh she must have forgotten something," she mused.

"Good grief, she forgot the baby," she thought when Rita returned with Lily.

Once Lynn Sr. drove off the woman yelled, "SIMON, THEY'RE GONE."

A male in his late forties emerged from the kitchen area wearing an apron.

"Thank God, things will be quiet around here for a week without those noisy brats disturbing the peace," Simon remarked joyfully.

June 17th…

"Thank God we're home," Rita declared gratefully as Lynn Sr. stopped a newly restored Vanzilla in the driveway. It was 6:00 pm. They departed from the hotel that morning at nine a.m. for the long drive home.

"Hooray," the Loud kids chanted, except the five younger girls who were fast asleep and Leni woke them up.

"After we go inside and have a snack, Lori and Lincoln could you help me unload all our luggage," Lynn Sr. as everyone departed from Vanzilla with Rita holding Lily who was still asleep.

Once inside the house, Rita requested, "Kids could you step into the living room for a moment," before they had the chance to go upstairs.

She and Lynn Sr. stood before them while the children sat on the couch.

"We just want to thank you kids for not fighting with each other or misbehaving even once while on vacation," Rita said.

"We're proud that you didn't run around disturbing the other guests and waited patiently in the long buffet line for breakfast," Lynn Sr. added.

"That's all, now let's get something to eat," Rita said. Everyone gratefully went upstairs to wash their hands.

Later…

While the sisters watched an episode of "Audition," Lincoln was in his bedroom relaying to Clyde everything that went wrong while the family were travelling to their vacation destination. Lynn Sr. had just returned from their neighbor Mr. Grouse with the mail he asked the elderly man to pick up while the family were on vacation.

The parents decided to retire to bed early then read the mail in bed after taking much needed showers.

After settling down in bed, they began opening the mail. When Rita noticed the address on the upper left corner of one envelope, she panicked a little. It read "Franklin Avenue Neighborhood Association." (the address follows) "Lynn, we've got a letter from the Neighborhood Association," Rita declared.

"You think it's a letter asking us to join," Lynn Sr. asked. Rita opened the letter and scanned over it.

'They're having a Fourth of July Block Party," Rita answered. She read…

Dear Neighbors,

Join us at Franklin Avenue Neighborhood Associations first Fourth of July Block Party from 3 p.m. until 9 p.m.

There will be entertainment for everyone including a Bounce House and games for the kids.

Burgers and snacks provided. Burgers will be served at 4:00 p.m.

"We should go dear, at least you'll get a break from cooking this year and you don't have to open the restaurant," Rita said.

"Okay, you can call Cheryl tomorrow," Lynn Sr. replied.
