Matt and I were asked to help on the PIONEER TREK this year for youth conference in our ward....and we were able to take the three older boys along!!! Cort was old enough, now that he is 12...pretty crazy, and Cooper and Camen did great! We had a great time.....so neat to see some of the sights of what the pioneers went through!...This was my terrible looking feet...after running the Ragnar Relay, I lost my big toenail, and after treking 14 miles the second day...I PEELED my second toenail right off...and another came off days later.....nice summer feet! Yet, we had a great time, and learned a lot...we all came back having a greater appreciation for what the pioneers did for us! It was fun being there with our boys...and seeing them work hard!
Dressing the part of the pioneers was part of the trip...not to hard for the guys to pull off, but the ladies....a whole different story! One of the womens husbands said.." Wonder why there were so many children back then, when the women looked like THAT!!!"...I took no offense, totally agreed to the comment!!! Bloomers were VERY attractive, and all the women looked like they were 20 lbs. heavier than they really were!! We had fun dressing up... and returning home, a nice hot shower never felt better!

That's cute Cher! Well, not the feet part, but everything else. Your boys will never forget that. What a neat memory!
very cool that they let you take your older boys! Those ARE some pretty yucky summer feet!!
That's the grossest picture ever. It made me cringe. I have always thought one of those treks looked like a lot of fun but I often think I am too big of a prissy and would never make it. Cute pictures!
Great pictures! That's awesome you got to take your boys! They are cute little pioneer boys!
Cheridan, I just wanted to tell you that I stole that picture of all the boys off of katie's blog I think.You can do it too and have a copy!:)
