Joshua got up this morning and said: "Today is the big day!"  When I asked him what he meant he said: "It's the day we go to the cabin."  I guess it's settled then, Joshua is going to the cabin with us.
I spent the morning packing the car and truck and cleaning out the pantry and the refrigerator.
It was afternoon before we were ready to go.  We were so loaded down we looked like the Beverly Hillybillies.  James left room in his truck for Joshua, Max and Evan.  Sheri, Ian, Alex and Ben came up later this evening and so did Kim, Brian and Joseph.
We had to stop in Fountain Hills for a drink because the boys were thirsty.  For awhile between Payson and Fountain Hills it was bumper to bumper traffic.  James kept calling me and telling me we should have gone the other way.  There was a ton of traffic but another reason for the back up was there was a car that caught on fire.  We stopped again in Payson to eat and then I stopped in Heber to get something to keep me awake as I was falling asleep.  We did finally arrive at the cabin.

This was the last day of school for Ben and Max who go to Bright Beginnings. Earlier in the month  Ben and his friends went to a science symposium in downtown Phoenix where they won first place for their studies on water. They have been doing experiments all year and when they did their presentation they got first place out of 29 teams from all over the state.  We are very proud of Ben and his team!

The symposium was sponsored by the U of A.
