Our neighbor hood had a great little pioneer trek they called "the AMAZING trek". We were to start at the church at 8:00 am, ready to go. We were sent to listen to some of our young women who just came home from a real trek and hear some of their testimony building experiences. Then started with our first clue, which sent us to "the barn" they had horses, goats, chickens, even a yak.
The Richards family was kind enough to take everyone who wanted for a ride on the horses, let you feed the goats and even lasso a straw cow.
Gentry liked it but would show NO emotion, (-hi 19 year old...whatever!)
Then to walk on, with our next clue in hand.
We made it with only a small pit stop for the stroller, we would have never made it walking to Utah.
You could make one doll per family. Hayli made ours for us.
Which Gentry quickly took over. The next clue led us to a story about how a family's Dad wasn't able to push the cart so his wife pushed his 6 foot, and 220 lbs in her hand cart she herself being only 4'11. So we had to push our Dad in a wheelbarrow around the culdesac. We laughed alot and almost dropped him too. BUT we made it.
FINALLY our last clue led us to a pancake breakfast, can you imagine we had to trek on a empty stomach?
How spoiled we are, and grateful for the conveniences we enjoy each day.
Thanks Pioneers.

What a GREAT way to remember and honor the pioneers! I bet the girls learned so much. MAN, I am just beyond thankful I don't have to push a cart or eat flour. I think I'll go eat my plentiful breakfast now.
