Trek

Our Trek Family!


We were asked to be a Ma & Pa on trek this year. For those who don't know what that is.. the youth and some leaders imitate the pioneers traveling west pulling handcarts. It's like survivor!It was a trecherous journey but we managed! The kids in our family were truly amazing. There was not one complaint.. surprising after 14 miles of uphill hiking just the first day! Bro. Bennie said we were one of the most awesome groups he had seen. We made it to base camp about 2.5 hrs early and that was after an delaying us for another 1.5hrs. Along the journey we learned how to kill chickens, make honey taffy, and survive w/the bare essentials! Fun huh? It actually was! We learned alot.. and felt alot..
