Once again we based out of Chris and Robin&#8217;s place while we took care of our shopping lists.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/mom\/files\/2008\/08\/img_7677-01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-853\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/mom\/files\/2008\/08\/img_7677-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/mom\/files\/2008\/08\/img_7686-01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-863\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/mom\/files\/2008\/08\/img_7686-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">We took time out for church Sunday morning.  When we came back Chris shared a cool book making project that Katie and I are both excited to try out this year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/mom\/files\/2008\/08\/img_7678-01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-854\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/mom\/files\/2008\/08\/img_7678-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">We had serious shopping to do at Costco.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/mom\/files\/2008\/08\/img_7681-01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-855\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/mom\/files\/2008\/08\/img_7681-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Katie was mortified at buying so much stuff!  Bill was great crunching numbers and helping her pick the best buys.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/mom\/files\/2008\/08\/img_7680_2-01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-856\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/mom\/files\/2008\/08\/img_7680_2-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"316\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Tundra tennis shoes, otherwise known as LaCross Alpha Burleys, are the ticket in the bush.  This snappy footwear is great for walking through brush on the tundra whether wet or dry. Once again, Kats hates spending the money&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/mom\/files\/2008\/08\/img_7684-012.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-859\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/mom\/files\/2008\/08\/img_7684-012.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"427\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">We shipped out 6 more boxes of food, paper products and other misc. items.  It looked pretty impressive in Chris and Robin&#8217;s basement before things got stuffed in the tubs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/mom\/files\/2008\/08\/img_7689-01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-860\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/mom\/files\/2008\/08\/img_7689-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Unfortunately the first batch of tubs were too big.  We had to return them for a smaller size that we could do a better job of staying under the 70 pound limit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/mom\/files\/2008\/08\/img_7688-01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-861\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/mom\/files\/2008\/08\/img_7688-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Thanks to tips from Bill 3 we had a pretty good system down for packing the tubs.  We borrowed Chris&#8217;s dremel tool to drill holes in the tops and bottoms of the tubs.  Once Bill and Katie got the boxes packed and addressed, I proceeded to drill the holes. Bill took them to the post office, but didn&#8217;t put the zip ties in the holes to fasten them down until we knew they were under the 70 pound limit.  It worked slick.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/mom\/files\/2008\/08\/img_7690-01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-862\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/mom\/files\/2008\/08\/img_7690-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"427\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">We had Katie out to the airport in plenty of time to make her connection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/mom\/files\/2008\/08\/img_7693-01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-864\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/mom\/files\/2008\/08\/img_7693-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"427\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">After hugs we left Katie to do our own bulk shopping.
