Jim's beat up truck pulled in to the the wooded park and quickly found a parking spot next to the outdoor restrooms. The two brothers exited the vehicle and looked around at the newly renovated Walter Tierre Park.
"Wow, this place has changed alot since I was here last time," said Matt. He put both of his hands over his eyes to block out the sun so that he could get a better look at the changed surroundings. "It's a lot bigger now."
"Yeah, the city bought alot of the old forest land adjacent to the park and cleared it out to expand the park more," responded Jim, trying not to sound too interested in park. He wanted his little brother to feel like he owed him something for driving him all the way to the park, it would be a great way to "guilt trip" a favor out of him (what could he say, he was a big brother, it's what they do). But it was hard for Jim to act too uninterested in his current surroundings since the size of the park had tripled since he was last there, making it an enormous landscape of trees, grass, picnic tables, volley ball nets, etc.
"Well, we're here. I say we grab some drinks from the vending machines and go explore the parts of the park we haven't seen before." Jim motioned his little brother to follow him towards the Coke machine. Jim knew that they both needed to keep themselves hydrated if they were going to go walking around during the hottest time of the day.
"See, something exciting did happen, Jim. So I guess the odds weren't against it," said Matt in an I-Told-You-So manner.
"Matt, something alot more exciting than this needs to happen to make me feel like this isn't a waste of my precious time off."
