Do I Pass?

I am the Ward Trek Specialist. We are doing a reenactment of the Pioneer Trek in early June, and I wanted to make a dress before I asked the youth to do the same. (Let's just say that the hot, humid, Georgia summer isn't going to be very fun in this dress.) I was so proud that I finished it, in all of my much spare time...and decided to do a photo shoot...









Do I look the part? I am now Caroline Ingalls...or Emma, or whom ever else you can think of in that time.






Yeah, a little scary I know. I got a little carried away. But (southern accent)
little 'O me in my bonnet, I felt like...going out to chop some wood or bake an apple pie.
That is suppose to be a foot with a blue sock...I guess you can't see that I'm kicking up my foot, my daughter said it looked like I had a tail. Oh well.

Hey, I'm impressed!! We did a trek last summer in nauvoo and I can't say I would have wanted to be in a long dress. I can't claim I would have ever made a good pioneer! Good for you!

I am impressed Rhonda. You have so many talents. That will be a fun experience..although, I can't say I have been on a trek myself. Thanks for your comment on my recent post. I appreciate your thoughts.. it is so true. It is such an honor to hold and be a mother to this precious spirit of our Heavenly Father. Even last night when I was so exhausted because she would not sleep, I thought to myself.. just enjoy this, she will be grown before you know it. I am so glad to be back in touch with you. You are awesome!

You are so cute! I love that you are having so much fun with the Trek stuff. My siblings went on one a few years ago and had a great time!

I'm very impressed. The trek will be fun...and hot. Just be glad you're not doing it tomorrow in Wisconsin. It's going to be -5!!

Wow, if only the pioneers really posed like you did - we might get the feeling that they had more personality than those old photos we always see!

Seriously, you are amazing - how cute you are - I'm anxious to find out more about your trek!

Love ya,
Mom-Stacey
