thelma and louise on the road

that’s what paulo calls us, anyway! sarah and i went with our church this past weekend on a ladies campout. you know, it was fun. lots of laughs, great times, and just what i needed in the spiritual sense. . . but, moms, if you need a break from the kids to just lay in bed and read and rest, i don’t suggest AK tent camping in the summer. between mosquitos, insane fear of bears, getting up early to start the campfire, and cold weather (yes, you read it right) . . . it was lots of work. i was glad to get home to my gang!

sarah pulled out her camera twice, ok, 3 times. here’s the loverly shots:

before we left town, we had to stop by sportsman’s warehouse. i didn’t buy any “anti-monkey butt” powder, but man, was it tempting…

below is me, aka the purple masked bear fearing monster. imagine tryiing to sleep in a tent all night when it’s daylight. . . pretty cool in some ways, not the ways where you actually want to sleep… so glad sarah brought out the camera a couple of times.

    I want some of those purple things for my next summer trip out there! Alaska in the summer just fed my night owl self while I was out there.
    Glad the bears didn’t eat you for a snack. They must not have seen those tasty, cotton candy looking, purple eyeshades.

    Oh, by the way, I need some of that anti-monkey butt stuff for the workplace. Do they make it in a liquid for drinking?

    Or maybe a spray?

    I can’t believe you found that stuff! I posted on it back here. And I don’t mean anything when I say “back here.”

    Kristy, If the bears saw you in all that garb, with just your mouth showing,, they’d have thought you were from outer space and would tuck tail and run. They’d be scared to eat you! You’re brave to camp out. Sounds like you gals had fun. Thanks for sharing the pictures. GM Doris

    After 3 days with no shower, swallowing our toothpaste (bear issue), and using an outhouse… maybe we should have grabbed a can of that stuff. Fortunately for me I had a stuffy nose the whole time. Unfortunate for Kristy!
