And They're Off...

Mark and Derrick met at the church this morning at 10am to go on a 3 day Pioneer Trek. They had to wear cotton pants and cotton long-sleeved button-up shirts for the entire time. They had cowboy-type Pioneer hats (sort of-They got what I found at Wal-Mart to make do!) They are not making their trek in the snow or going several miles each day, but they are going to be going on some pretty tough terrain and in this heat. They have handcarts that each family will be pushing along filled with their supplies for cooking, their water, and a 5 gallon bucket for each family member filled with their clothes and necessities for the next 3 days. Oh-except tents. They are sleeping out under the stars! It will be an adventure that they will talk about for years to come, I am sure.

Mark's Ma and Pa are Tanya and Randy Murray.

Derrick's family for the next three days is the Thompson family. I haven't met them before and Derrick was just really wanting me to get done taking the picture and leave him alone! Did they have sunglasses back then?

On a completely different note...

What do I do with this???

This is in my scrapbook room on the long wall behind my desk. Up above will be several words that I have painted black and Geno will be hanging up for me (DREAM, INSPIRE, CREATE). These boxes have been in this room since Derrick had it as a bedroom. Since we hung them up with anchors and I didn't want to have to patch the holes, I have painted them to match each decor. What should I do with these boxes? How should I decorate them? I know that there are some very talented decorators out there, so let me hear it! The mini lava lamp can go somewhere else, but I am definitely keeping it ;o)
