T * R * E * K

We had the wonderful opportunity to join our youth for Trek this year!! Even Jefferson and Carter got to come with us (Owen stayed with Papa and Nana in their 5-star hotel!) What a great pioneer experience for our little family. We pushed handcarts through river crossings, the blazing hot sun, hailstorms, and millions of mosquitoes. We experienced bear spray and a trip to the emergency room, lightning and thunder storms, the women's pull, wind, and three days without a shower! And we gained a greater appreciation for the pioneers and their courage, sacrifice, and testimonies. Can't wait to go again!
