What have I gotten us into?

So.

Monday is the day.

Wait.

Let me back up.

Never in my life had I heard of a Modern Day Pioneer Trek.

I mean.

Sure I heard about the Pioneers.

But kids doing it these days?

Never crossed my mind.

Until I moved here.

"This summer is the Trek!"
I'd hear people shout.

I guess it only happens every four years.

So I did what every Young Women President in the Arapahoe Stake did.

I went to the fireside where they explained The Trek.

It's a 20 mile walk over 3 days.

Camping.
Crossing rivers.
Pulling handcarts.

All of which I don't do.

I put my name on the list to go anyway.
And didn't so much tell Spencer.
I was #63 on the list.
Why worry?


Well.

Guess who's going?

Yep.

These guys.

Yep. Spence will be wearing that hat.

Wish us luck.
I have a feeling we're going to need a lot of it.

ha ha! You guys will have a blast! Seriously, I think you'll have so much fun. I'm helping a friend of mine make her pioneer clothes for the trek over here. I had never heard of it either until just the past few years.
