Meet the Helmquists - a Sims 3 story

On Friday Taius was allowed to skip school (he has best marks and even if he stays out of school 3 weeks he will be best in a day!)
so he and his grandpas took the plane to Bridgeport.
Haldir´s sister Dianah lives there with her family, so she bought the property where the family of her and her husband could stay during their visits in Bridgeport (isn´t it neat when the family has too much money? :p )
Then the house got to meet the fixer upper team ;)
they started with this

and ended with this

Taius, Haldir and Travis arrived in Bridgeport on a rainy afternoon. So they decided to visit the art museum in the city.
All three of them are artistic, so this decision was obvious!

the graffiti tags are made by Dianah´s husband Jamie (some days soon I will come to Bridgeport longer than now and then I´ll play with them again! As I said in the beginning of the thread, this is an ongoing save since a few years now, here´s an evidence!)

at the arrival Haldir tried to look at the art (why he was thinking of a car when watching the flamingo I don´t know :D )

and was enlightened

Travis and Taius chatted at first

then Taius thought about his miserable ( :D ) life

Travis read (of course :-)) this is what you do in an art museum)

Then Haldir noticed that Tyson was murdering an expensive sculpture and had to scold him.

but Haldir couldn´t stay angry for long (no wonder, Tyson is such a nice dog!!)
and they chased each other, cuddled and played (imagine this in a real art museum >:) )

(have you ever noticed the urinal in the art gallery? I have seen a few Sims using it as well :D )

but Haldir couldn´t stand being without Travis for long, so he searched for him and they talked together ;)

Travis played chess at first

Tyson slept

Taius went into the whirlpool, where he was joined by Travis and Haldir later

And for those who wonder why Travis and Haldir look so young although they are already grandgrandgrandgrand...pas: they are fairies and I play on the longest lifespan! And I disabled the fairy wings, because the whole family would blink and twinkel and couldn´t be seen properly by me. (ok, this thread isn´t watched by so many people, but I wanted to explain :D )
