Our family was able to participate in a Pioneer Trek with our ward family. We went out in handcarts, dressed in Pioneer clothing and were able to get a small taste of what the handcart companies went through. I know it wasn't anything close to the sacrifices and hardships that they faced but it helped me understand them and appreciate them more. Here are some pictures from that great trip that we took. It was fun and it was hard, most of all it was memorable.
Happy 24th of July. Thank you ancestors. I am who I am today, in part, because of you.

I loved your collage, Shanna. Good lookin' pioneers, there! T really looks the part, and the kids have grown since I last saw them. Your oldest boy is practically a man. So where did you do your trekking?
Thanks Mark! We went to a place called Mosida that is over on the West side of Utah Lake. The LDS church owns property out there and runs the handcart treks. I'm not sure how long it's been up and running but we had a great time. It was pretty flat but it was very hot. Thankfully we had plenty of water and everything.
Oh and J. is taller than I am now and quickly catching up with his dad. They all just keep on growing and growing.
S - Those are wonderful photos and the editing you did to them only added to that. Great job. :)
