7 days

We are so excited...we leave a week from today for the Cook Islands and New Zealand for 3 weeks. No, I am not ready to go. I had this idea that I wanted (needed) to clean out all the kids closets and drawers before I could tackle packing. They have outgrown so much and I thought it would make the packing job a lot easier if I had everything thinned out. I did it and now have more hand me downs than anyone could ever want.

This is my hall way full of old clothes.

We are very excited to spend time with Mark's parents and three of his siblings and their families.

We also had Joel's last tournament as a Rockhound (his baseball team he has been on for years) on Saturday. He tried out for the summer High School team the last few days, so now we're on to a new adventure. We will be gone a lot this summer, so he won't be playing too much.

Here is right before the game was over, the sunset was amazing.
