I wanted to share these pictures, too. Josh lucked out with his "Ma and Pa". They were Raymond and Brenda Wright from our ward. They are terrific and fun people. They brought a purple bandana for everyone in their family, and they were known as the "Purple Cartwrights". Josh really enjoyed being in their family. There were seven family groups, each one having 13 children. I'm glad I got a Cartwright family picture. Each of them had an adjective in front of their name. I guess Josh was known as "Jamaican Josh". Somehow, it fits his personality. Each of the handcarts weighed between 400 - 500 pounds and it was up to the "children" to keep the handcart moving. They had some rough terrain and steep hills and they all felt a real sense of accomplishment. But, after hugs, laughter and pictures, and a couple bottles of cold water, all they could think about was a shower, some food, and a nap in their own bed.
