Pioneer Trek

This last weekend we got to go on a Pioneer Trek with the youth in our stake. We got to be a ma and pa. It was a lot of fun. The first day we walked 5.5 miles into camp and then we had a fireside and hung out the rest of the night. The second day we only walked between 3 and 4 miles, but we had someone faint on the trail due to dehydration. It was scary. Then that night we had games to play and we got to wash our hair. President Rawson and his wife gave a fireside that night as well and we had a testimony meeting afterwards. The last day we got up really early so we could beat the heat because it was going to be near 100 degrees with high humidity. I think we hiked 5 miles and met up with the buses. We got to cross a couple rivers as well which was really fun and it was really windy so it made for a pretty nice day. Michael's parents came and watched Benjamin while we were gone, so we owe them many thanks because we were able to go on the trek. Benjamin loved having his grandparents here because they spoiled him rotten. They bought him a pool and a sand box and gave him lots and lots of attention. We miss them and were sad to see them leave. It's hard being away from family, but we love it here in Kansas.
