Convention Preps 2014 - An Overview

Many days boiled down to this.
(Pun intended)

After the first Saturday work day at McCordsville, Rebecca and I found a lovely park in which to walk before making a Culver's stop and heading back to the grounds.



We had lots of these lovely fellas at Shoals.

The never-ending saga of convention curtains:
What goes where?  We need to find someone who remembers what the women's restroom curtains look like.  We're missing three shower curtains.  Do you think it matters if they all match?  Etc, etc, etc.

My first experience with making gravy
I got a 20-minute lesson the night before from Dad.  Then I had gravy dreams all night before waking up extra early the next morning so I would have time to make a practice batch.  Fortunately for me, it turned out quite nicely, if I do say so myself, and we had a delicious breakfast of biscuits and gravy (and sausage and scrambled eggs and fruit).  Whew!


Sunday afternoon excursion to Spring Mill with K and D during Shoals preps
Checking out the wildlife



Time for the real exercise to begin!


K & D wondered exactly how many pictures we needed of that bridge!  
But it was so beautiful!  
And they patiently waited until our appetite for bridge pictures was satisfied.









Posing in front of the cave
The "weather" was perfect - warmish that grows slightly warmer when you're hiking with refreshing cool spots along the trail due to the presence of caves and springs and such.  Ahhh!!!

Wanna have a picnic?





These next pictures are not the best, but they will give you the idea of our next activity - a very necessary one in the cool-down process.  



Still friends
Ummm, D, what are you doing back there?

And many other things happened at preps, namely work.  However, we were too busy (and then too tired) for further documentation.  If you've ever been to preps, you know all about it!
