I have some of the most amazing kids ever. These are my oldest two. We picked them up yesterday from Trek.
On Trek, the youth have an experience to dress up like the pioneers and reenact just a part of their history, in traveling along some of those same paths that the pioneers did.
My kids did a lot of preparation for their experience this year. Not only did they help make their costumes, and do all of the extra activities, that would help them to prepare for this endeavor, they also walked to the temple each day, with the goal of completing 100 miles as part of their Trek experience.
It was neat to see them when they got back. They had a wonderful experience. Walking as long as they did, and pushing handcarts across mud and streams, really helped them know they can do hard things, and to be like the pioneers.
When they got home, I was most impressed that they wanted to continue wearing their trek clothes one last time, as they walked their last 3 miles to the temple to complete their 100 mile goal. They did it!
