"Laurie! Lets go!" Andy yelled. He had on his orange Adidas shirt and matching orange and navy Adidas shorts.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Laurie yelled from her room. Andy sighed and roller his eyes. His sister was so slow, it bewildered him! He picked up his blue Jansport bag and slung it over his shoulder. His other two bags were right next to him.
"Bombs away!" a voice yelled. Andy looked up and saw a huge duffel bag come flying down. He managed to catch the bag.
"Mike!" he yelled.
"Sorry, I can't carry it all down," he said.
"Here, let me help you," he said. Andy went upstairs and got Mike's red Jansport bag. Mike was carrying his other orange one. They went down the steps.
"Okay, now, where's-- OW!" Andy screamed. Laurie's bag landed right on his foot.
"Sorry, Andy!" Laurie screamed. She ran down the steps and saw Andy glaring at her.
"It's okay," he finally said.
"Okay," Laurie replied. Their parents came in.
"Kids, lets go ahead and put our stuff in the car. I'm going to drive our stuff over to the Hanson's, drop it off, and then come back here and park the car. Why don't I go ahead and take you guys over?" Mr. Woodman asked.
"Okay," they said. They ran inside and jumped in the car. They said good bye to the house and went over to the Hanson Mansion. Nobody was outside, so Laurie rang the bell. Zac answered.
"Hey guys, come on in!" he yelled.
"Okay!" Mike yelled back. They all went inside. It was a mad house! Walker, Diana, and Isaac were trying to get everybody together. Taylor, Zac, Jessie, Avie, and Mackie were going wild. Zoe was sleeping. Walker called everyone into the family room.
"Guys, we need to settle down. Your mother, Isaac, and I are trying to get everything ready. Go get your bags and put them on the front stoop. The tour buses should be here in 15 minutes."
Everything turned into a whirlwind of activity. Laurie was surprised to see everyone get everything done so fast, but then it was Hanson: Wonder Family at action. The vans pulled up right on time. At first, the sleeping arrangements were all the boys and Mr. and Mrs. Woodman in one van, and the girls and Mr. and Mrs. Hanson in another, but Laurie protested so they did some shuffling. They put the boys, Laurie, Mrs. Woodman, and Mrs. Hanson in one van, and the girls and Mr. Hanson and Mr. Woodman in the other. They started the trip, first stop Milwaukee. Laurie couldn't wait to see what the trip would bring them.
As the vans pulled away, nobody could tell what the trip would bring them, or the surprises it would hold.
