The next time Mom makes fish for dinner, I'm definitely gonna check the package to see where they came from first. The crazy thing is, the fish hatchery wasn't the LAST place we got chased away from today. We tried parking the camper van in a meadow so we could get out and enjoy the view while we ate, but it turned out to be somebody's FARM. We finally found a field that didn't look like it belonged to anyone, so that's where we stopped for the night.

等下次妈妈晚餐做鱼，我肯定要先检查包装，看看鱼是从哪里来的。 说出来你都不信，我们今天被赶走的地方，还不止鱼苗场这一处呢。 我们本来想把露营车停在草地上，这样就能边吃饭边看风景，结果那居然是别人的农场。 我们最后找到一片看起来不属于任何人的空地，就在这儿停下来过夜了。

The sleeping situation wasn't great. The kitchen table converted into a BED, which is where Mom and Dad slept. I wasn't crazy about the idea of eating breakfast off the spot where Dad slept in his boxer shorts. I had to share the loft above the cabin with Rodrick, which wasn't much of an improvement on our deal in Gramma's basement. 51

睡觉的条件可不太好。 餐桌改造成了一张床，爸爸妈妈就睡在这里。 我可接受不了在爸爸穿平角裤睡过的地方吃早饭。 我得和罗德里克挤车厢上方的阁楼，这比我们在奶奶家地下室的住处好不了多少。 51

The only person who had any space to himself was Manny. He'd turned one of the cabinets in the kitchenette into a little apartment, and his set-up was actually pretty SWEET. CLICK While Mom and Dad were getting ready for bed, I found out a major downside of the camper van. The bathroom walls were paper thin, and with the engine off you could hear EVERYTHING happening in there. And, trust me, no kid wants to hear his mother's bathroom noises. BURBLE BURBLE SPLORP I CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW LA LA LA LA! 52

唯一一个拥有专属空间的人就是曼尼。 他把小厨房的一个橱柜改成了自己的小公寓，他这个小窝布置得还真不错。 咔嚓 爸爸妈妈准备睡觉的时候，我发现了房车一个超大的缺点。 卫生间的墙薄得像纸，熄火之后里面什么声音都听得一清二楚。 相信我，没有哪个小孩想听自己妈妈上厕所的声音。 咕嘟咕嘟哗啦啦 我什么都听不到什么都没发生 啦啦啦啦！ 52

Thursday It turns out the place we stopped for the night was a public park. Little League practice started first thing in the morning, and we were parked right over the pitcher's mound. Luckily, we were able to take off before some kid broke a tail light with a direct hit. Mom said she didn't want a repeat of yesterday and asked everyone to think of something we could do that was guaranteed FUN. And that's when I remembered a billboard I saw the day before. 53

星期四 原来我们过夜的地方是一个公共公园。 一大早少棒队就来训练了，我们正好停在投手丘上。 幸运的是，我们赶在哪个小孩投出好球撞碎尾灯之前就开车离开了。 妈妈说不想重演昨天的意外，让大家想想有什么保证好玩的活动。 就在这时，我想起了前一天看到的一块广告牌。 53

The billboard was for this place called the Family Adventure Centre. Usually, whenever the word "family" is part of something, it's a warning to stay away. But the pictures on the sign made me think this place could be DIFFERENT. CROFAMILY ADVENTURE CENTREN We had to backtrack about two hours to find the adventure centre, but it didn't really matter since we weren't really headed anywhere to begin with. I have to say, this place was pretty cool. There were a million activities, and I wanted to do them ALL. 54

那块广告牌宣传的地方叫做家庭探险中心。 一般来说，但凡名字里带“家庭”两个字，都是提醒你赶紧躲开的信号。 但广告牌上的图片让我觉得，这个地方说不定会不一样。 我们往回开了两个小时才找到探险中心，不过反正我们本来也没有目的地，所以也无所谓。 不得不说，这个地方还真挺酷的。 这儿有超多项目，我每一个都想玩。 54

But everything had an age and height requirement, and Manny wasn't tall enough to do any GOOD activities. MOUNT'N BEAR SEZ: MOUNTAIN BIKE CENTRE "YOU MUST BE THIS TALL TO RIDE!" The only activity Manny was big enough for was the Fun Float, where you drifted down the river in inner tubes. So that's what Mom signed us up for. TUBING CENTRE INNER TUBE RENTALS 55

可是所有项目都有年龄和身高要求，曼尼不够高，玩不了什么有意思的项目。 大熊山说：山地自行车场 "你必须长到这么高才能骑车！" 曼尼身高够得上的项目只有欢乐漂，就是坐着内胎顺河漂流。 所以妈妈就给我们报了这个项目。 漂流中心 内胎租赁 55
