The stories of a great Papa
By Austin Simpson
Papa would always put the kids (including me) in each of his boats and it was always so fun. He also would put us in the wood shop to make something and that was also so fun. Anyways, another story is, one time in Kauai me and my family were going on this hike we called the mud hike because there was tons of mud there and me and papa got a whole bunch of mud on our legs and we kept saying, “its just muuud” and I thought that was pretty funny.
Papa (or Dave) was a great man who cared a lot about everyone no matter if they were nice or not he would still give them some kind of positivity and it was always great. Anyways, the story starts off when me and my family (including Papa) were in the BVIs and then we saw some girls without clothes jumping off the Willie-T Boat and papa was like, “woah woah woah Time-Out” and the one thing I said was, “papa they’re missing their life jackets” and papa was like, “I think they are missing more than their life jackets Austin” and everyone was cracking up. Anyways, that was my story and I thought it was pretty funny.
