Christmas 'Round the Town Prep

Mom does a community craft show every year, called Christmas 'Round the Town. It's fun except for the week before. The week before is utter chaos, literally! Mom tends to save the bulk of her projects until then. This year is better though, it is her 8th year though.
Every year we go rosehip hunting. Rosehips are the seed pods on wild rose bushes, the thorns on these bushes are evil - kinda like a fish hook. Mom, of course, makes us all wear bright colors because if we don't the hunters will think we are a deer and shoot us ...

This is Susie looking conspicuous so she isn't mistaken for a deer

While searching for proper, thick rosehipping gloves, I found a roll of electrical tape and a roll of orange trail marking ribbon and decided they were needed to complete our hunting ensembles.

Thanks to our "trip photographer", Valerie, we have pictures of this year's adventure. Now we have to suffer all the other prep work this week.
