Getting the boot(s)


We are in the midst of preparing for our big summer trip!  Sunday, Lord willing, we leave for the land of beef and cheese (Wisconsin), for a week of camping and our favorite homeschool conference.  

From there, we will bop west across North America until we get to Silverlake, Washington, the veritable doormat of Mount St Helens, and home to the 7Wonders Creation Museum.  We will be helping our dear friends, Lloyd and Doris Anderson, and learning how they do what they do.

What do they do?  They educate folks on the many geologic features which were almost instantaneously created during Mount St Helens' eruptions and their aftermath.  (That's why they call it the "7Wonders"!)   They also mow the lawn, clean the toilets, vacuum the floors, welcome groups to their visitor center, give lectures, feed birds, sell books and videos, and lead the occasional tour and hike.

So we have finished procuring enough boots to shod all the Klein feet.



And we are breaking them in, to boot!







And we have found a great way to stow them when not in use!


We are counting down the hours with no little amount of excitement.  We are also getting ready to start seriously missing our St Louis friends...waaaaaahh!!!
