Darren is still nonstop working. He moved to L.A. for a bit to help take care of his mom as well as work on a few newer music projects. He also opened up another location of The Dapper Dinosaur (which he visits from time to time but is locally managed by his brother). Now that the kids are in high school, Darren and Stefani have a bit more freedom when it comes to traveling for work projects but their priority is still the kids (who are also rightfully talented in their own right). On top of that? Together, Darren and Stef have reached EGOT-power-couple status and are settled in New York.

It could be, you’ve always been used to saying his name after all! For real? Is Daisy the way we should call you now or you’re good with D and Dare? I think it would be a very good way to convince people that Bayview is a great town to live it. So I’d just say: go for it! It was… fun. Unusual to me but it was nice to get out of my comfort zone for once. Did you have a good time?

Right! Hmm. Ha, I’ll respond to Daisy. My college friends still call me Daisy, everyone else calls me D or Dare. Because Bayview is a fun time! And who can really say no to cute kids? I’m glad you had fun! You’re a wild one, Ben, haha. I did! There’s no shortage of fun now, I think that just means it’s time for the waterslides.

We definitely will be at the rate she is obsessed with rocks. Guess there’s worse things she could be fascinated with. Least she’s not coming home with bugs or something. Did they get all the energy out during camping? We stopped by so Finley could roast marshmallows but didn’t end up staying just because she wouldn’t have done well without the power. 

I’m still highly amused at this development. Okay, that’s true, but hey, you could still say that rocks are cool, because there are so many. And maybe later on, get her a geode kit? Nice! But I totally get you there. Toddlers and no electricity or running water is a bit of a challenge. Also, bugs. But I’m glad you guys still got to join in on the fun! Will I be seeing you later today at the pool? Do I get to serenade you again?

So, I was picturing that too as you were talking about it, and then my brain sorta switched fully into thinking about tube men, instead…? So I’m not sure that I should think about anything that flops around anymore today. But totally, yes! Any kind of baby animal that can’t walk very well right away is a big time weakness of mine, how could people not find those sweet, you know? He’ll get there eventually! And besides, it sounds like he already has a few good interests under his belt, which is a big help. Oh gosh, yeah! Not to mention how wrinkled the outfits get, too. But it’ll be fun to see!

Haha! Tube men? Like the ones with the air coming out of them like at the car dealerships? Okay, now I’m imagining that. They are so precious and cute because sometimes they get excited to walk and then... flop. Baby animals are just a weakness and probably can make anyone’s day better just by existing and being cute. He does! He’s still a shy little guy but he’s sweet and I think he’ll have a good time with other kids his age. Don’t worry, you’ll be getting lots of pictures of the cuteness and chaos. Are you having fun so far at the Getaway? Feels so weird that summer’s coming to a close.

Wait a minute— Dare, babe, I think you might have figured out a way to get everyone off our backs with the senseless rumors about us and the Illuminati! Technically speaking if we sold our souls at our wedding, doesn’t that prove we still had souls to sell and we aren’t illuminati puppets? Checkmate. Please, my kids? It was so cute watching Lennon be attached at your hip wanting to go everywhere we went the entire time. I think so, too. Amore’s been asking for her own horse; maybe we can see how well she does there. I’m not gonna lie… I saw you sob. Tony dancing with her was magical, her face beamed up so much. Do you think we’ll both still be forced into retirement by the time we’re 95? It was a hard enough time trying to convince him.

Did I?! Am I officially a genius now? I mean, if there are rumors, it just means we’re worth talking about... right... Maybe we’ve sold our souls but we don’t know it... so we’ve sold our brains too? So we’re... zombies? Or working for some mastermind? I probably should stop while I’m ahead, I swear, I’m not a conspiracy theorist! Ha, well they take on after you more. But I noticed that too. He’s my mini-me, so I guess he just likes to stick around me like that. I think maybe we can arrange something, she’s getting old enough to learn to ride, isn’t she? I’m pretty sure I held back absolutely nothing. I know she won’t ever forget it. You and me? Probably, we’re already nonstop. Our kids are going to have to get us to sit down for more than five minutes. He’s... he’s such a legend, a trooper. I am happy, though, he’s had such a colorful, amazing career. I only hope to be half the legend he is, still singing at that age. He deserves an award for being so incredible and just existing.

If we all ended up sharing the same brain, life would end up being pretty boring. At least this way, we all offer something different to the world, in our own kinda way. It is, which is good, I think it’s great to get to know people based off of what they like and don’t like, what they’re into. Oh God, yeah, are we even working if we don’t have one project that we just really aren’t that into…? If they don’t, we can make it a thing again, who’s to stop us?

Right!! I think variety is good, people have their own opinions, do their own thing. Otherwise if everyone is doing the same thing, we’d be like robots. And if everyone always know the same thing, conversation would also be pretty boring, right? Trial and error, it’s a part of life. Hey, I think we did a good job with it. So if campfire songs weren’t a thing anymore? They totally are now!

You get the wheels spinning, and you come up with great ideas! Always knew that there was something special out of our friendship, Darren. We come up with some brilliant inventions. Well, someone is bringing in the sand into your house! Unless it’s all of my sand that gets swooped up from the wind and gets taken to yours. You gotta love kids for that reason. Your place will never stay clean. That’s adorable. You can never go wrong with Baby Yoda. You did raise your children well! I’m proud. 

It’s those creative juices, man. Nothing beats brainstorming with a notebook and a sandwich. Can I get that on a sticker to put on said notebook? I wanna be a cool kid. I was gonna say it’s Mr. Sandman, but I don’t think that’s quite how he works. Maybe we’ll just stick to the theory that kids are messy as fuck. I’m pretty sure she just thinks Baby Yoda is the cutest thing ever, which isn’t wrong at all! Ohh, they’re going to turn into little nerds. Just you wait until they start jabbering about Harry Potter nonstop.

Doesn’t matter what time in the day you head to Paco’s; it’s always packed with people. And you can’t blame them either! That’s adorable. I always loved it whenever someone would bring their pet to show and tell. Was she successful in taking it with her to class? Me and you both, buddy! Have you had a bunch of s’mores on the camping trip? 

It’s hard to say we’ve had enough of it, especially if we’re there all the time! That is, probably true for most of the town. No, no, not that time but we did end up having some of her friends over to play with the animals, so they got to hang out with the pig. We did! So yummy, I think s’mores are meant for camping, otherwise it just doesn’t taste the same!

[residentgoober]

bbcrnes​:

Yeah? Chuck sounds like quite a normal name to me. Or maybe it isn’t common anymore and I’m just an old man, I don’t know. People could make your name easier by calling you D if they really struggle with the pronunciation! Absolutely. The best kind of postcard, actually. The kind I wanna receive for holidays, Christmas and New Year so remember this when it’s time! It was so good. Montana was really fun.

I would think so too? Or maybe that’s just from me living with him. Most people do call me D, or Dare, some people say DC. I’ve gotten Daisy, it’s fun. It’ll be so cute I think, getting to really get this place out there and tell people how awesome it is to live here. I loved Montana. How’d you like the camping? 

[residentgoober]

deltslea​:

Or maybe never! Maybe we will never, ever have to worry about face planting again, it’ll just never happen to us and we can live our lives without it… fingers crossed. Okay, but those baby giraffes are really cute when they’re first starting out and sorta trot out across the fields, aren’t they? Even if they are super awkward, too, that’s true. Erasers that disappear and sometimes get chewed on, but no one really wants to confess to that one. Because I feel like that was a thing in my youth, at least. He’s going to love it, without a doubt. You’ll have to send me first day of school pictures, too!

I’m kind of picturing those stunt dummies that have like an inflatable thing on them when they do the crash test. It’s a very strange picture. Maybe that’ll stop the faceplanting... or we can all just walk very slowly so we don’t fall over as much. They are! With their wobbly legs and trying to walk but they stumble. Cute on them, not so much on a 30-something year old. I’m excited for him. He likes exploring, maybe not yet as outgoing as his big sister, but he likes nature, dinosaurs, music. I think being around other kids will help. I’m excited for that. Those before and afters where the kids look all prim and prepped to go, then they come home and it’s like a glitter, dirt, hair everywhere. 

[residentgoober]

roerigz​:

Everyone’s entitled to their own opinions, as long as they don’t start thinking that those opinions are facts and something that everyone else on the planet has to agree with, you know? Otherwise, what would the point be in us all having our own thing and what we like, right? Sounds like a solid way to spend the weekend, especially if you’ve got your guitar for us. And I see that they had a big campfire planned for Sunday night, so like… that’s perfect!

Oh yeah, that’s 10000% true. Everyone can think what they want, that’s kind of what makes life more interesting, I guess? Various opinions, varying tastes. And it’s just a way for all of us to get to know each other better. Like even with my friends, we’ve all done work we weren’t crazy fans of but we’ve still got each other’s backs. That’s art. I’m your guy whippin’ the guitar out of nowhere and getting the party started. Do people still sing campfire songs? 

[residentgoober]

sxphietxrner​:

That was the main reason why I returned! It was all Paco’s doing because I missed their tacos so much. Kidding… kinda. Oh, absolutely. They can take it to their show and tell once she goes to school. I think they still do that, right? I used to love that when I was a kid so I hope they do! I bet! It’s s’mores making time. Any kid would be excited about that. Exactly! And it should be mandatory. 

Paco’s! Paco’s does it all. There’s the reason why we are all obsessed with Paco’s. Yeah, I think so? I mean, Amorette wanted to bring the pet pig to show and tell one time. I saw her trying to carry her out the door. Oh, me too. But I’m also a chatterbox and like to talk about myself. The s’mores would be the icing on the cake, the cherry on top, the way to seal the deal. I’m not a kid but I’m excited about it. We will make this a thing.

[residentgoober]

hemswurth​:

I don’t think it does! Someone better get started on making a special vacuum for sand. Especially for those of us that are located right next to the beach. You’re pretty much guaranteed to have sand in rooms you don’t want them in. That’s why I refuse to have carpet anywhere. Don’t want the kids to bring sand in and make a mess. Ah, nice! So they’re excited about starting school again? Did they pick out a cool looking backpack? 

See, now that’s a genius idea! We are on a roll here, Chris. I’m not even that close to the beach, and somehow I still find sand all over the house! It just... appears. I feel like with kids, the mess is pretty much inevitable. Kids are messy and gross but that’s also the fun part. They are! We got Amore a backpack with Baby Yoda on it, and Lennon got an Avengers one. I feel like we taught them well.

[residentgoober]

deltslea​:

Totally, for some reason it ends up being easier than you would think? None of us want to face plant, I guess we’re just more inclined to do it than we thought we would be! It’s true, though, and you know what? I’m glad for it. It feels like one moment, school was ending and we were at the carnival, and next thing you know, bam, they’re back to buying backpacks and lunch boxes, somehow. Geez… how did they get so big?! But at least he’s excited, you know? Better than having him upset!

I think it’s one of those things that once you’re doing it, it’s just fine. Yeah, face planting can happen another day... or something, ha. But I mean, I always feel like that would happen if I’m not paying attention... that feeling of a baby giraffe learning how to walk. Oh god, yes. We were wrapping up the last school year, bringing home art projects and rearranging the ones on the fridge. Backpacks, lunch boxes... crayons. So many crayons. And pencils. That get lost. And erasers. Erasers that disappear on their own. I have no idea! I blink and he’s grown so much. He loved going t o day care and preschool a few times a week, so this would be fun. Amorette’s just nonstop moving. 

[residentgoober]

roerigz​:

That’s exactly right, and even if there are some people that don’t like it, it doesn’t take away from what you’ve put into it and how much love you’ve spent on it. Although, for what it’s worth, I don’t see how anyone could ever not love something that you’ve worked on. They really, really do, honestly. Like I’m fairly certain Candice and I got back from the trip more exhausted than they did. I’ll be there! Kiddos are off visiting their mom again, but I’ll definitely be out in the woods. How about you?

You’re the best! I feel that a million percent, there will always be people who don’t like it, and that’s okay. I mean... people have their opinions and what they like or don’t like. I’ve learned to roll with it. I definitely know what you mean there. We will! Or at least, we should be! Wrapped up a few projects, did some stuff with the house, so the weekend should be pretty ready to go. Bringing my guitar for campfire songs.

[residentgoober]

maddenhqs​:

Much appreciated, mate. Aye, she’s obsessed with rocks, you should see what we had to do to distract her to toss all of them before we came home with a half suitcase full of them. Future geologist in the making, at least one proud dad could hope. Far better than following in my footsteps. Have you managed to settle back in since the trip?

You’re welcome, buddy! That’s seriously adorable. Well, at least you’ll be all set for a rock garden! Hey, then later on she can tell us all about the rocks in the garden and maybe some decorating tips? I mean, she could end up being a superhero too later on, who knows? Well, both you and Gemma fit that category. We have! They’re still energetic little buggers who are now excited for camping.

[residentgoober]

stefigerm​:

Yeah, I think that’s why they call it the fine print or something like that. At least we’re both trapped together! Considering the two of them would not stop begging to go on all the adventures, yeah… they’re tough ones, I’ll give you that. I could not get either of them to stop wanting to go back for the little kids horse adventures! I think that had to do something with it, too. Yeah. Now that it’s over, I mean…. it’s bittersweet, you know? But it was an honor to be there by his side for his last performance. 

Oh, it’s not called, the hidden cost of signing away your soul? I’m kidding. Kidding. That’s the best part, right! We’ve... been through a lot in these five years. I think those tough times are the big ones that really just pushed us, you know? They’re definitely your kids, loving the horses. We may need to start doing some trips over to Circle B so they could practice more, too. I’m not gonna lie, I sobbed. You both were amazing as always. Remember when Tony danced with my mom at our wedding? I don’t think I’ve ever seen her so starstruck.
