I Can Do Hard Things- Pioneer Trek

We made the trek from South Jordan, Utah to Martin's Cove, Wyoming.  The theme of our trek was "I Can Do Hard Things".

For two days we walked, and walked, and walked. 

We crossed rivers, climbed hills, ate dust, pulled handcarts, square danced, laughed and cried. 

My pace was much slower than everyone else in the group and I ended up walking alone up Rocky Ridge for quite a bit of the hike.  That gave me a chance to do quite a bit of thinking and pondering.

Valesca, Josh and I were all in the same family group.

Here is a picture of us with the Moultons.

Pioneer Trek was not easy, but it was very worth it!

We were tested in many ways- and blessings came.

And although I ended up with physical injuries (blisters) on top of the foot problems I already had- I found out that I can indeed do hard things.

A brush with someone famous

Last night our family went to a concert and Josh got to meet Travis Eberhard, Albert from 17 Miracles.  Meeting him was fun since Ann, Josh and Valesca will be reenacting the story of the handcart pioneers up at Martin's Cove this next week.  The concert was wonderful, or should I say "SUPERB".

A parade and a bike ride

 Josh marched in the South Jordan parade this morning.

 Noah rode his 50 mile bike ride today.

 We are so proud of him.

Way to go!!!!!!

It's my BEESness

I was at my grandpa's house when the doorbell rang.  I answered it and the UPS guy almost threw this package at me and told me to give it to my grandpa as he left in quite a hurry.  It made a humming noise.  It was a package of queen bees.  Cool!
