| This
weekend, we did a "cousin-swap". That is, we left all of the girls in
Superior, and took all the boys (Jacob, J.T., and Joe) to the ranch.
And, oh yeah, Lisa tagged along with the guys, too. The guys hadfun,
likely even more than did the girls! |
|
|
This is Lisa. Hi Lisa! |
|
What are these girls doing on the trip? Oh. This must be before Superior. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Me driving. |
|
Looks like we picked up the boys. Got rid of those pesky girls too! |
|
We brought the dogs. |
|
|

We had to wait for construction just past Globe. |

This was bad news. Just outside Show Low, we hit all this traffic, and it was at a stad-still! |
|
Everyone was outside, wandering around, all asking each other if they knew what was going on. |
|
And walking the dogs. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A clue. A firetruck went by. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ah-Hah! Here is the cause of all this trouble. A car caught on fire. |
|
Pretty! |

Finally, we are at the RANCH! |
|
Time to relax (except for me, I had to haul water). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While I was hauling water, Joe started to set up the fire. |
|
|
|
This is getting too big! |
|
|
|
Way too big! |
|
|
|
|
|
That is way too much wood! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

The creator of the enormous fire. |
|
|

Sheesh! |

I borrowed Ron's water trailer, and got me about 300 gallons! |
