A few weeks back I was one of four lucky adults that got to chaperone my church’s youth group on a mission trip to Kansas City. It was truly one of the best weekends of the year for me and I sincerely hope that I get asked to chaperone a… Read More »Kansas City Mission Trip
The following pictures are from: Backup/Old My Pictures/Real to Life/Special Effects The term “Special Effects” seems to be quite a bit of a stretch.

I’m not sure who anybody is in these Halloween costumes, but I don’t remember Halloween costumes being so swanky back in the day. I believe the car pictures are of an old car that sat in Lowell’s grandpa’s yard.
