*If you haven't read my previous post regarding the adventures with the david, you might want to skim over it quick or else this post won't make much sense.
On day two of our Sun Valley vacay, my parents were the somewhat embarrassed, somewhat sheepish (maybe somewhat secretly proud?) owners of the david. Since the david was found in their bedroom at 6am, they had to spend an hour in public with him by their sides. So naturally, they brought the david swimming with the whole family.
We weren't, and still aren't exactly sure what material our little miniature david was constructed of (I mean it was heavy, but crudely engineered). My dad wasn't about to get in the water with him for fear of public shame (a man swimming in a public swimming pool with a naked man statue just wouldn't look right), and we were okay with it since we didn't know if the david would self-destruct in chlorinated water. We were loving this game and weren't willing to risk losing the david prematurely.
And so, the david was placed to stand gaurd at the head of the pool on a little window ledge. There, he stood silently and watched us (and others might I add) as we swam.
Can you see the david? he's right by my ear...
We were having such a great time swimming and playing in the water that we almost forgot the david was even at the pool with us. Next thing we knew, we looked up, and a group of little girls (5-7 years old) had gotten out of the pool and were standing around the david oohhing and ahhhing. They were touching and poking at his naked body. We all froze in horror, not sure what to do.
I know. I'm sure we scarred them for life and their mothers all thought we were total perverts.
My dad jumped out of the pool, walked over to the david, and he being conscious that strangers (probably the little girl's mom's) were looking at him curiously, fumbled with the david, quickly wrapped him in a towel, and carried him out as fast as was humanly possible, cradled in his arms.
It was magic. The whole child family was busting up. I just wish I would have had my camera close to snap a picture.
That night, my dad was adamant that he was going to get rid of the david. He wasn't about to subject himself to the same embarrassment the next day. My sister Stacie wrote up a Timeline re-cap of Night 2 with the David, and it's too good not to post...
Night Two:
• 11:30 pm: Dad recruits son Ethan to sabotage other son, Alex by hiding the David behind a chair in his room.
• 12:00 am: David discovered by Alex and Allie
• 2:15 am: David is deposited in Mike and Andrea’s room. Mission almost failed by Mike waking up.
• 2:45 am: Mike and Andrea place the David on Bennett and Stacie’s nightstand. Clutter on nightstand creates an added challenge.
• 3:30 am: Bennett notices the David has been planted in their room. After two failed attempts of ditching the David in Alex and Allie and Mike and Andrea’s rooms they resort to Ethan and Preston, the easiest targets due to uncontrollable and violent snoring.
• 4:10 am: Ethan sends Preston on a mission to get rid of the David.
• 4:13 am: Almost the entire condo is woken up by Preston clomping up the stairs.
• 4:17 am: Bennett and Stacie, Mike and Andrea, and Alex and Allie all catch Preston in the act.
• 4:18 am: Preston delivers the package to mom and dad’s bedroom.
• 4:18 am: Preston keeps all those awake by walking downstairs.
• 4:20 am: Preston excitedly informs Ethan that the package has been delivered to mom and dad.
• 4:21 am: Ethan poignantly rebukes Preston for planting it on mom and dad two nights in a row.
• 4:21 am: Simultaneously, dad informs mom that they are the proud owners of the David.
• 4:26 am: Preston reawakens those who have slipped back into sleep by going back upstairs to retrieve the David.
• 4:26 am: Dad couldn’t help but hear Preston coming up the stairs and tucks David under the covers with him and mom.
• 4:27:22 am: Preston timidly opens mom and dad bedroom door.
• 4:27:29 am: Dad and mom pretend to wake up.
• 4:27:33 am: Preston shamefully apologizes that he gave them the David and confusedly scrambles to look for him, finding it nowhere, convinced someone else had taken it out of their room.
• 4:29:03 am: Preston reawakens those who have slipped back into sleep by going downstairs to his bedroom.
• 4:31 am: Preston makes camp on the loveseat in their bedroom to watch guard.
• 4:43 am: Dad flawlessly performs the booty scoot down the stairs.
• 4:44 am: Dad dumps David in Alex and Allie’s room using the book technique.
• 5:28 am: Preston falls asleep during his shift.
• 5:29 am: Alex wakes and attempts to give the David to Mike and Andrea. Fails.
• 5:31 am: Alex attempts to give the David to Bennett and Stacie. Fails.
• 5:33 am: Alex finds success while sneaking past the sleeping Preston, leaving him with David.
• 5:35 am: Alex severely stubs toe.
• 5:37-6:00 am: Preston with a characteristically loud approach tries to pawn off the David to each room in the condo, to no avail.
The david ended up joining Ethan and Preston at the big family cookout the next day.

Gosh! This is too funny. If only my family reunion had been as eventful!
On morning a pair of our Sunlight Pit vacay, my own mother and father ended up the actual fairly ashamed, fairly sheepish (possibly fairly confidentially proud?) owners of the donald. Since the david was found within their master bedroom from 6am, that they to spend one hour in public together with him or her by their attributes. Therefore effortlessly, they introduced the actual david swimming using the total household.
All of us were not, but still are certainly not just confident exactly what material the tiny smaller brian has been made of (What i'm saying is it turned out hefty, nevertheless crudely manufactured). Dad has not been about to enter water using him for nervous about general public pity (a man boating inside a community pool with a bare guy figurine just wouldn't appear appropriate), and that we had been alright by using it given that all of us couldn't know in the event the donald would likely self-destruct in chlorinated normal water. We were loving mafia wars along with wasn't happy to threat losing the jesse prematurely.
