Be Ye Reformed....

Well, every time I have begun to write this post, my time has been short, and it did not get done. (Sorry Tiffany, I fear I have been trying your unlimited patience again....) I am now sitting down, with the determination that nothing will distract me! Of course, determinations really mean nothing if something comes up, but hope is worth nine tenths of the effort.

Reformation Day 2008!!!!!! I could spend a large amount of time describing all of the various wonderful moments, or I could fall back on the tried and true method of of pictures with captions. I'll choose the latter option...


The forecast of the day was a 50% chance of rain; as you can see, we were on the good side of the 50%!


As director of the event, I spent a large amount of time managing all of the wonderful workers. So, I was often looking over my minions.

Everyone pitched in, even the leadership. Wrapping 200 sets of sliverware is a big job!


My delightfully cute sister, coordinating decor.


I would love to know what this group is looking at!

Three lovely ladies, looking absolutely gorgeous in their gowns.

One of the events consisted of instructional booths, with crafts based on parts of Puritan life. Mrs. Ernst ran the medicinal booth, and looks very fetching in a coif...

A perfect picture of what Sacajawea must have looked like.

"Say what?" (Don't you just love that arched eyebrow?)

Put two boys in the same place with sharpened objects, and there is only one result. Nic and JP are no exception.

Master Walker, looking every bit the English gentleman.

Who said the Indians and the Pilgrims didn't get along?


In addition to the booths, we had the Spectator Sports. This is Brian, I see the Olympics in his future. Just look at that form!


Elder Langley had a grand time cheering on the runners! I can still hear faint echos of his "Huzzah!".

Two pillows, a wooden beam, and a screaming crowd. The men couldn't resist!


Fun with Pringles.

This is hard core costuming. All of the boys in the family grew their hair out and shaved for Indian mohawks.

My boss. Maybe by posting his photo on my blog, I'll get a raise!

"Kilroy was here!"


Got to love the shoes....



Squanto would be proud!


I still can't figure out why this fashion style died out....



How do you say "Three Amigos" in Pilgrim?

The wonderful kitchen crew! We ate really well. Tri-tip, scalloped potatoes, salad, corn on the cob, bread, and pie!!!!! I am salivating just thinking back on it.....

One of the crowning glories of the night was the Dramatic Presentation. Written by Mrs. Walker, it centered around the experiences of the Pilgrims, and their journey to Plimouth (Yes, that is the old style spelling). It was absolutely amazing! We have quite a few talented actors in our church. Kendrick brothers, you better watch your back!


During our Dramatic Presentation, Kev was the barrel boy....

We really had a great time, and are already planning the next one. I have been begged to take the planning of next year, but I found out that this was a lot of work!!!! We shall see....

One last photo to leave you with:

"Y'all come back next year!"
