Well... Austin is off on his trek, hiking the mountains! When he walked in my room this morning with all his loot on I couldn't help myself from chuckling, it was pretty cute seeing him all dressed up like a pioneer. We have been preparing for this for a few months, so I am quite anxious to hear about his experience. When I was dropping him off @ the stake center this morning I couldn't help but feel so grateful for all the adults who have volunteered their time and services to the youth of our stake, what an amazing sacrifice this is for these kids! I have never been on the trek but, I hear it is such a great experience being out in the wilderness without the finer things of life & realizing how great we all really have it! So, we will hear on Saturday evening how it was & what kind of testimony building experience he had, along with everyone else's. I have lots of friends & neighbors in our stake who are participating in this journey. So, good luck to all who are trekking, you are in our thoughts & prayers!

Love the pics from teh trek...I bet it will be a great experience I am excited to hear everything. Your blog looks great...how did you update it?
I am dying to hear how it all went! I am sure Austin will have such a great experience and will be so glad that he went! He looks so cute in his pioneer clothing! HA!
I totally wished I could have gone on the trek - I took a few pictures - the kids were anxious so they were not too into getting their pic taken - so my e-mail is agooch6@cox.net - I would at least like to get Will's name on the waiting list - this is the same lady who amiee lunt goes too? I know she says great things about her.
What a great experience this will be! my sibs get back saturday too and i can't wait to hear about it! austin looks great...like a real pioneer! So cute!
I hope they have a great time. Looks like a great group of kids. I send Cole off to Camp Geronimo for 8 days tomorrow. I am a little sad to see him leave for sooo long.
Hey girl, you do such a great job with your blog! Keep it up. It was nice to hear from you, time just flies especially when there are so many activities going on! I hope everyone returns safely and can't wait to hear all about the trek! enjoy
