Bad news. We couldn't get Braden out on the days that we had talked about. The only day that they could offer us was the 4th. I sent his whole itinerary for you to see. I thought that it might be easy to see if one of the siblings, if not you could pick up him up after the parade, then you could be in Nephi for the fireworks. Let me know if that isn't going to work and we might be able to fly him out earlier, like the weekend before the 4th. I just didn't want to have him gone forever. He will be there from the 4th to the 11th, then at EFY from the 11th to the 16th. On the 16th he will need someone to pick him up at BYU, then he will be with you until the 28th. Please help him to help you out with babysitting, yard work, helping Jim, anything that will keep him busy. He loves to serve, but doesn't always know the best way about it. He hates being in Massachusetts, and I figure that he will be okay being back here after he has been away for a little while--absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Braden graduates from the eighth grade tomorrow night. It should be and interesting program. It is supposed to be in the eighties tomorrow, and we are having the ceremony in the gymnasium at the Middle School. Fun!
I hope that I get to talk with you soon.

Do you know who is going to pick him up? It would make sense to have Shawn pick him up, if Shawn is coming down to the fireworks for the evening. If not, Amy and I can go get him.

Dad can go get him if you want to come down to Nephi. If Dad goes alone, I will need a ride to Nephi so I can start getting food ready. Whatever is best for everyone is fine for me. Shawn and family are at Woodbadge training.
Love, Mom
