Gingerbread Man does the RV Life

The girls were the winning team of the 2016 Gherkin's New Year's Gingerbread Competition. One of the honors of winning this momentous competition is hosting Mr. Gingerbread Man for the year. His exploits will be showcased here throughout the year.

Stacia was the team captain for the girls and Mr. Gingerbread Man hasn't taken advantage of many travel opportunities - he COULD be in Mexico or Alaska - but he's been content to stay in OR and CA at this point.

Gingerbread man is fool-hardy. He thinks he can drive Uchi. 

Most of the time he rides HERE and not behind the wheel  

He has made many trips Grandma and Grandpa's place.

Gingerbread Man helped plant a Cherry Tree in memory of Dad G.

He seems to be so worn out from that exertion that he is content to maintain his perch on the dash of Uchi and stare out the window.  While it makes us unique in the park, it also allows friends to find us quickly - though no one seems to visit us in the park. ::snort:: 

We'll do better at allowing him to participate in "life." Eventually, he'll need to hitch a ride with other team members....he could do boot camp, labor and delivery, glaciers, COT graduation, hikes, oncology appointments...you just never know where he'll show up.
