B&B Summer

Summer Camp: Loved It, Loathed It Or Skipped It?

Matsuda: “Summer camp was the worst experience. I had the flu, and I was very active in sports, and I had to just watch out the window while all the other kids got to play.”

Novlan: “Skipped it, but there was a lot of camping.”

Lake, Ocean Or Pool?

Matsuda: “A pool, on the shallow end.”

Noelle: “Ocean.”

Novlan: “I grew up on the lake. Lots of boat cruises and water-skiing.”

Sunscreen: Forgetful Or Fanatical?

Noelle: “Fanatical.”

Novlan: “Fanatical. I’ve got to keep on the 50, man.”

Road Trip Role: Driver Or Passenger?
