The House is PACKED!!


This is the view from one of the places we are planning to stay in NZ- a good motivator for packing.

 We got the whole house packed and stuffed into a 20' container yesterday!  The kids did amazing as they helped carry boxes and items!  It was the hottest day this year-- so the kids and Keith jumped in the river to cool off at 4 pm!  We put the last box in at 9:30 pm and came home to a house that echoes!  We are all on the floor now- foamy beds.  The house seems weird empty, but I am so glad that we got it done!

We now have a little more time to see friends and family- but there is still the big clean-up to do and packing for NEW ZEALAND!  We are finally getting excited.  We plan to travel light- but the home schooling books are going to make that one a little tough.  

One more week until we leave.  I hope that we can get everything wrapped up and settled before we go!  The plane won't wait for us!

love to you all!
