Trek 2012




We went on a Mini Trek with the Stake on Saturday, it was fun. We treked though the desert by Lake Walcott. Many of the people are going on the real trek in the summer so they wore their trek clothes, we went just for fun. 4.5 miles of lots of sand. It was pretty cold as first.

A kind family provided the children with some bags of chips, I think it gave them super energy, Ellie walked and ran a lot of the way.

See how excited everyone is. It was pretty cold. ;) James brought a whole pocket full of suckers. They were gone before we even got started. Barry says "where in the world does this boy, get all his candy from?" ;)

Everyone starting out






Barry helped the kids get the cart up the big sandy hill.




Lauren didn't really ride in the cart, (I didn't want her to dive out, or put her hand in the wheel) So I pushed her in a stroller but it got too sandy, so I carried her. It actually wasn't too bad, and Lauren was a perfect angel the whole time, she didn't squirm once to get away.

Ellie socializing.

That bear hat is so cute, nice pictures of james too, and ellie. Of course Lauren didn't squirm, did you see the scenery?!? Ps. That last picture looks EXACTLY like mom.

So much FUN! Did Barry build the hand cart?

The carts were from the stake, they had them built a few years back, the wheels were solid steel ( crazy heavy) instead of wood with lining.
