Back in February or March, our Bishop came over to our house and asked Bill and I to participate in a pioneer handcart trek reenactment as a "Ma and Pa" to some of the youth of the church during the summer.
A handcart trek sounds pretty adventurous and fun when it is 30* out. We said we'd love to.
We leave tomorrow. In the middle of July. In 100* temperatures.
Ugh.
I have come to the conclusion that people in the 1800's were WAY too hung up about showing skin. I'm going to be spending the next three days outdoors all. day. long. In the blazing sun. In the heat. In full pioneer costume.
Yup. Skirt. Apron. Blouse. Bonnet. Bloomers. Stockings. Full regalia.
No lie.
Not sounding quite so fun now, is it?
I'll let you know all about it when we get back.

I'm sorry, I'm giggling about it... Okay, not really sorry. ;) I have never heard of anybody coming back from this crabby. And, it's kind of endearing when you see kids after trek and they still call you Ma/Pa. :) Good luck!
Thanks, Sara! I'm sure it will be great!
