To pass the 2.5 hour trip back from Torino, Italy, Julia and I played a game called the Zoo Game. The idea was based upon a video game that we play where one builds an amusement park from the ground up. However, since we were in the car we had to rely on our imagination to play the game.
After getting past the easy questions (i.e. What kinda animals will your zoo have?), I asked Julia if she wanted to hire members of our family to work at the zoo. Here's the breakdown:
Jen: Decorator
Me: Animal doctor (not to be confused with veterinarian)
Tia Nena: Train driver
Uncle Daniel: Wore a costume and made the kids laugh
Funny uncle John and uncle Nick: In charge of the beer tent and making more kids laugh
Grandma Lauretta: Julia's personal assistant
Grandma Beth: Tour guide
Uncle Nick Baldwin: Stroller rental attendant
Aunt Kathryn: Accountant and Financial Consultant (quit after Julia let too many people in for free)
Grandpa Gary: Security, Fix it man, and Custodial Engineer
Luke: Security (according to Julia, Luke was the "heavy" and carried a weapon to be used to shoot the ugly people who tried to get into the park. Jen and i were laughing too hard to correct her)
Grandpa Dan: Helped people who had problems (the "fixer")
Auntie Mandi: Taught kids about the animals
Aunt Ashley: Ticket Taker
and last but not least, Julia: CEO
