Heere follows thee true account...I

Everything was going so fast...the pictures below may be a little messed up (as far as order of occurence...). NOTE: THE PHOTOS IN THE FOLLOWING POSTS ARE IN ORDER FROM LAST TO FIRST, SO IF WERE YOU GO DOWN TO THE FIRST PHOTO POST OF THE TRIP AND STARTED FROM THE LAST PHOTO AND WORKED UP, THEN IT WOULD BE IN ORDER OF OCCURENCE. Mr. Thomas and Melanie...she became very popular very fast. Still in awe of the final announcement "Melanie Thomas is the fifth trustee of the treasure!" The Thomases take the platform. Melanie, making her acceptance speech (actually, I'm not sure that it was inthis photo...but she DID make one). It was very touching, I assure you. "Can I have your autograph?" Melanie indulging the crowds of children. The council of men. L to R: Justice Phillips, Joshua L. (Emma is actually behind Joshua), Joshua Phillips (I believe...), Matthew Thomas, Jon L. and Micaiah Thomas. The council of ladies. Mrs. Thomas in the middle...and Mrs. Lueken on the far right. Look at all the people. Mrs. Thomas giving an excited embrace. Matthew. Micaiah and Matthew looked over and, when they saw I had a camera, they gave me some smiles...however our camera is not the highest in quality, and the photo came out a bit blurry. Alas! Mr. Thomas, Melissa, and Melanie. (If you have been wondering, yes. All of the Thomas' names start with the letter "M" and all of the kids' names are 7 letters long.) The moment of joy! Melanie's key opened the treasure chest! Fans. ;) Mr. Thomas, Micaiah, Matthew, Jon, Melissa (the back of her head), and Joshua. (I think Melanie's head is behind the video guy.) My cousin. Isn't he SO cute?! We stayed at my Aunt and Uncle's house for a few nights. This was on the trip to Fort Pocahontas to see who would win...as if we couldn't guess. Well, we hoped!
