As soon as their summer started, the boys found themselves in a mess. While trying to escape being noticed by the girls, the boys found themselves covered in pine sap, watermelon seeds, pine straw, and dirt. Not only did the girls get a good laugh at the boys' expense, the boys had to endure some painful and humiliating clean-up efforts by their mothers.
But when Paw Paw Flipper came to their rescue, they were happy to see him. Paw Paw Flipper is always there for them with the best advice and seems to have the answers to everything. So when he showed up to save them from the laughter of the girls and the torture of the clean-up by their mothers, the boys were eager to go with him.
This was the beginning of their summer to remember.
