the trek begins

Our house has been abuzz. Phone calls, dropbys and dropoffs have been at an all time high, and now the time is at hand. Today I drove half of this group of kids from our ward to Chiefland, Florida. It is about two hours from here.

The kids then had to pass a very important interview. Do you have any food? makeup? electronics?

If the answer to all of the above was no, then they got assigned to a family of ten or eleven. They will spend the next few days pulling their handcarts and learning about this important aspect of our Mormon heritage. There was lots of excitement and a little bit of fear!

Food, makeup and electronics...if those are cardinal sins, I'm in trouble indeed. ;)

It sounds like they sre leaving the present behind. What a bunch of fun they will have (I hope).
