We've been working hard at preparing spiritually and physically for our youth pioneer trek including lots of conference talks, indexing, reading & watching & talking about pioneers, walking, running, etc. Bob and I will be going as Pa and Ma, and Jonas and Leslie are old enough to attend this time. This past Saturday we took ALL the kids out for a 4 mile hike in the undeveloped areas of our surrounding El Paso neighborhood. We had our stroller for Gideon and Reuben and we called it our handcart and took turns pushing it. We also took Lucy with us and she loved it. The kids loved giving her water by dripping their water bottles into her mouth, but then they were thirsty...
It was good practice since it was super sandy and really hot! Everyone did well and we are excited for the real thing coming up at the end of this month.
