For Mine Own Purpose Have I Made These Things

Moses: SUPERSTAR!

Josh and I went to the coast yesterday. We took some pictures.

I bring you these fifteen. . . **CRASH**. . . Uhh TEN commandments!

With this Beach Branch I will lead a nation!


Where is Moses? I don't know. I don't know.


I will destroy him with my mighty arms!

I tried to coach Josh to look angry, but he just looks like he has heartburn

The coastal wind HATES Pharaoh headdresses

The Beach Patrol stopped me before we trekked across the beach to make sure I dressed warmly

Josh kept snapping pictures when I wasn't ready

Still true!

Unfortunately we cannot explain all of these pictures yet, though we will give Super Awesome Brownie Points to the person who can guess why we would drive three hours round trip to take pictures of ourselves dressed like Moses and the Pharaoh on a day that wasn't even Halloween (and these aren't even our Halloween costumes!) More details will come in a few days.

You needed to make a power point presentation for a church lesson and need pictures that look authentic so you went to the beach?! Am I close?

Josh Alder said...

Nice try, Carissa... but, no... not close.

HINT: It's NOT church related.

Carissa said...

Ok my next guess is that it's for an ad campaign for Hoodoo. Since Moses went up on the ountain to receive revelation so should we all go to Hoodoo to be spiritually uplifted through skiing, snowboarding, and tubing.???

I'm guessing you're secretly part of my class and you mistakenly think that a scrapbook will take the place of a paper.

Josh Alder said...

Interesting theory, Carissa... however, wrong again. Sorry!

By the way, did you see the latest round of Hoodoo commercials that will air
this winter in Eugene/Corvallis/Salem and Bend?

Click here to see them!

Sorry, Mhana... but the ShepAlders are decidedly anti-scrapbooks because we heard they associate with domestic terrorists (and by "they," I literally mean the *actual* scrapbooks -- frilly cutouts, tilted pictures, glittery letters, etc. -- and not the people who so lovingly create them.).

Nice commercials...what a creative way to keep Beanie Babies "cool". John and I are talking about coming up to Hoodoo for New Years to see Helen...and everyone else of course...I hope it works out for us to come because I've wanted to be there for the New Years "shin-dig" for a long time now.
As for Moses and Pharaoh lets get that answer soon. :) Because I'm out of ideas.

You should have an answer soon... it's a time-sensitive issue.

You should definitely come up for the New Year's Eve party. It's a blast!
