Jimmy spent the weekend at dance recitals for the Assistant. She had two ballet recitals and one tap recital. He also went and worked at the RTAA theater for stage setup. Tyler was off camping with the family at a cool new waterfall spot. He really loved it till he was on the way home and punched a hole in his Lance Camper with a dropped tree.\nSnailTrail4x4 Discord: https://discord.gg/yFyFFkQbuyCome hang out with us on the SnailTrail4x4 Discord — it’s the easiest way to connect with Tyler and Jimmy directly, chat with fellow offroad enthusiasts, and get first access to Group Buys and Treasure Hunt token drops.\nMORRFlate Giveaway at 900 Reviews on Apple Podcast.
