The boys had their things packed and ready to go. Jessica was going through the boys' room to see if they missed packing anything. Rocky and Colt were waiting in the car with their dad, and Tum Tum was filling his duffle bag with last minute emergency candy. His mother soon rushed him out of the house, and they were all packed in the station wagon ready to go. The family was soon off.

The drive was long, and it wasn't very long until both Tum Tum and Colt were in the back asleep. Rocky on the other hand, was wide awake. He was trying to think about what he and his brothers could do for fun while they were there.

Rocky: 'Let's see. We could go swim in the lake or put aside a day to go on a long hike. We can even camp under the stars. Anything to keep those two from staying in the cabin all week long.'

Rocky turned around to look at his sleeping brothers. Colt slept with his head tilted backwards and Tum Tum had his head leaning on Colt's shoulder. Rocky laughed to himself as they snored in unison and a small stream of drool came out of the edge of Tum's mouth.

Rocky: "Man. They're knocked out."

The station wagon had finally pulled up onto the mountain trail, and both Tum and Colt were wakened by the bumpy road. Tum Tum rubbed his eyes and yawned.

Tum Tum: "Are we there yet?"

Samuel: "Yes Michael. We're finally here."

The car pulled up in front of the one story cabin and came to a stop. Their dad turned around and spoke with them.

Samuel: "Well boys. What do you think?" He said smiling.

Rocky: "It looks cozy dad. I like it out here already."

Colt: "It's okay." He said while he studied the house.

They all helped the boys unpack their bags and get situated. Rocky was given a key to the cabin.

Samuel: "Alright guys. You are on your own up here. I've asked the forest ranger to keep an eye on you guys, so there's no need to worry. Rocky.

Rocky: "Yes sir?"

Samuel: "I'm placing you in charge. Call if you feel something is wrong okay?"

Rocky: "I will."

His father smiled at him and his mother started to ramble on. You could tell she was worried.

Jessica: "Okay. Now Rocky, don't forget to cook dinner for your brothers. Colt. Try not to go out late. Tum Tum. No midnight snacks. You might have nightmares. Oh! And Don't forget to brush your teeth and take a shower before going to bed. Make sure all of the doors are locked, and…"

Samuel began to gently guide Jessica towards the door, but she continued to go on."

Samuel: "Come on honey." He said tiredly.

Jessica: "One more thing. Don't wear any clothes that are dirty. Make sure to put on your bug spray! The first aid kit is sitting on the counter next to the refrigerator, and I made a list of emergency phone numbers. I placed it on the table, and…"

Rocky, Colt, & Tum: "Bye Mom!"

She stopped rambling and looked at her three sons. She let out a smile and answered back.

Jessica: "Goodbye boys. Be safe."

With that, both parents left the boys in cabin alone.
