Off To England
It had been days since the Thornberry-G family left Africa for the continent of Europe where the United Kingdom was.
Eliza had family in London England, but she knew she had to stay behind and film Shane's concert.
The comvee was in water transport mode, and for the twins, all they could do was sit around and play cards.
"Mom, are we there yet?" Shayna asked, putting down the ace of spades.
"We'll be in England soon," Eliza answered. "just be patient."
"But we've been cooped up in the comvee for days!" Ellie whined.
"We'll be at Nana and Grandpa's manor by morning, girls, keep the faith." Shane said to his daughters.
"Yes, Dad." Shayna and Ellie sighed.
Ellie played another card.
"I could swear these are the same cards I had in the last game." Ellie said, shaking her head. "who shuffled this deck?"
"You did!" Shayna snickered.
"Oh yeah, I forgot." Ellie said sheepishly.
Suddenly, there was a loud pop and the comvee started bouncing.
"Oh, no," Eliza said. "was that what I think I was?"
"Yeah," Shane said as he brought their vehicle to a stop. "I'm afraid we have a hole in the flotation device."
"Well, come on," Eliza said, unbuckling her seatbelt. "it won't patch itself."
"You girls wait here," Shane said. "Mom and I will be finished with the patch and we'll be on our way again."
"Okay, Dad." Shayna said.
"Yes, sir!" Ellie said to Shane with a salute of her hand.
Shane then went out to help Eliza patch the flotation device for the comvee.
