Memories of the Vigil:
The Grasshoppers all over the pillows and sleeping bags (and me swallowing a baby one)
Me: "Ew. I just swallowed a baby grasshopper...trail mix...give me trail mix!"
Nick: "Wow...now we know how to shut her up...feed her a grasshopper!"
The long walk to the porta-potties
Tommy's "Stage Fright"
Nick: "Hey Tommy, when you're done with that bottle, I need it."
Pouring rain
Nick: "Every time I lay out my sleeping bag, it starts to rain again."
Me: "It'll stop soon."
Jon: "It's not stopping"
Nick: "It better!"
Me: "Hmm...it's not stopping."
Jon: "Run!!!!!!" (Hopping in our sleeping bags to the tarp...)
Our make-shift outhouses!
"A Ziploc bag works better than a cup!"
"Ew...why is it blue-green?"
"Good-morning, Father...no...we're not doing anything...please keep walking!"
The flood!
Losing shoes in the mud...I think I'm the only one who never found mine!
Tortillas and Peanut Butter
Me & Jon to Beckie: "No, no one's talking...you're dreaming...just go back to sleep...thaaaat's riiiight."
Nick: "Hey, who let in Niagara Falls?"
Me: "Drink until your bladder feels like it's about to burst and you have to pee, and then keep drinking!"
Stina: "That must be one of your favorite sayings."
Shanzy: "Philippe, can you please get your head off my butt?"
"Who's hand is in my crotch?"
Chas: "Don't roll that way...."
