Grandma Got Eaten By A Grizzly

We went on a 2 month trip to Alaska in our 19 foot camper van in the year 2000. Ron and I, our 4 kids, and my mom went on this wonderful journey. The trip was full of adventure. The guys landed on Mount McKinley on a clear day. We stopped at every skate park and fishing hole along the way. It was a cozy ride with 7 of us in the camper van, but we had a blast. The kids got to know their grandma better and had fun making fun of her quirkiness. She spent an hour taking her vitamins every night and wanted to stop at every bathroom (facility). Each of us kept a journal of the trip, and each of us had fun sharing them. One night the kids got together and wrote this song for their grandma.

Grandma Got Eaten By A Grizzly

Written in her journal
July 2000
By her grandkids
on our trip to Alaska

Grandma got eaten by a grizzly
Running to the facilities last night.
She tried to fight him off with her billfold
Oh, criminy, it was an awful sight.

We all will miss our sweet, loving grandma.
She gave us candy every day and night.

Grandma got eaten by a grizzly
No diet Coke or vitamins tonight.

Dammit to hell and back
That bear was mean.

Who will sweep the floor and do the dishes,
Play cards or give us all hugs and kisses?
Cause Grandma went dancing with a grizzly
And she became his feast last night.

Grandma got eaten by a grizzly
Running to the facilities last night.
She tried to fight him off with her billfold
Oh, criminy, it was an awful sight.



Criminy, it was fun making memories with 3 generations of my family. We decided that she is going to have to wear DEPENDS on our next trip! We will just drive right by a few of those FACILITIES!

In Him,
Joyful
