Saturday July 8, checkout.

Our breakfast was a lot of leftover this and that-- breads, fruits and juices.

And then it was GO time!

Strip all the used sheets, clean out the kitchen cupboards and trash.

Laundry:

Yowza. Glad I'm not doing all that!!

Cleaning out the fridge and dividing up food to go to different homes was challenging. Katie and Gail even managed to get a photo shoot in since Seth wasn't there for our family pictures on Wednesday morning.

Grandkids, minus Lexi and Ella Liebhardt.

Our kids, minus Damian. (That's Braeden on the top)

[Damian and Lexi left Friday night to catch an early Las Vegas Flight back home to Texas. Tandy and Ella are headed back to Cedar/Kanarraville on Monday/ Tuesday/Wednesday. After the soccer tournament games are done.]

Lots of trash dumping, dish-sorting, box-packing and suitcase hauling and loading vehicles. But we did it! Mike and Braeden and I were the last ones out of the house and met the cleaner driving up as we left.

Mike was kind and drove dozens of miles down dirt forest service roads to the back side of Navajo Lake, and Braeden and I got out to hike down to Cascade Falls.

This is Cascade Falls in 2018. Just a trickle.

THIS is Cascade Falls, 2023.

Definitely more than a trickle.

It was a lovely ride thru the back country, not always knowing if we were on the right road! Ha. Lots of running creeks, which I really think is the North Fork of the Virgin River. And plenty of lovely green meadows from our wet winter.

And we were talking exhausted and took naps after lunch. Gathered up our energy to attend the downtown July Jamboree. A hundred + vintage and show autos. And vendors

But mostly cars. Many cars. It was very hot, too, between 6 and 8 or so while we were there. We were seeking shade constantly.
