Jim and I participated on our stake's youth Trek this past week. We were assistant wagon masters. It was amazing!!! Honestly, I don't think it could have gotten much more authentic. From pushing handcarts for over nine straight hours (through mud and rivers, over trees and rocks) - all the while going without food for 14 hours. To shooting muskets, killing live chickens with an axe and cooking them over a fire, to sleeping on the ground under a handcart! The youth and leaders in our stake are absolutely amazing! It was a privilege to take part in trek.
In other news, Emi got her glasses. She's thrilled and since this pic was taken, she has completely covered her glasses case with stickers. The glasses are shiny purple. She only has to wear them at school for distance, but she loves them!
On Friday night, we went to our town's 4th of July concert and fireworks display. We packed a picnic dinner, played ball, play go fish and enjoyed the beautiful fireworks. What a fun night!
James getting his "summer haircut"
You look like good pioneers. Aren't you glad you can fly home instead of walking? We would love to see you guys if you are home this summer.

i love it when you post a new page. You are brave to cut James' hair. I would NEVER have the guts to do that. I heard you are coming into town for Aspen Grove. I might take Conner up there to see Paul and Sally it would be great to see you and for him to see the kids. We are taking Conner to the 24th parade are you going to go to that?
ReplyDeletePerhaps email me this sounds more like a letter than a comment. Tell Emi her glasses are stunner! :) Love Laurie
