First off let me tell you, Paul has an amazing talent. When I got back from my trip, I had a huge dent in the side of the Oldmobile. I had no idea when it happened. It looked like someone had just slammed a large door into it. Paul just tapped it in a few choice places and wah lah, dent barely visible. Most of the metal just popped back into place. AWWWH some!!!
Friday after work, I forgot the camera, but Michael, John, Emilee, Benjamin, Julia and I all headed for Williams, Arizona. It was their annual ham fest. (no not ham the food, ham radio, although we did take some pork loins for dinner). We spent the night in the cool pines and John made dinner in the dutch oven. The children said thank you, it was almost as good as their dad's. The next morning we packed up and went into Williams. The ham fest was not huge but everyone participating looked like they were having a good time. Then we did a little geo caching around town. We found all but one. That's pretty good for us, especially when they are micro caches. Off to the lava tubes next, where I discovered that if my flash light wasn't bright my dept perception was not very good. Needless to say I did not go too far in as my light became dimmer and dimmer. Emilee, Benjamin and Julia went on quite aways and had a great time. Michael was worried that they were too far from us, but where would they go? Kidnappers only had one way out. The air inside was a cool 32 degrees and it was sprinkling outside. After that we went to the railroad cafe in Flagstaff for a late lunch at 2:00 and then home. It was a great day out. I do wish I had remembered the camera. Nice to have the family to ourselves.
