Eagar Stake Pioneer Trek

June 4th -7th 2010
This is one of the most amazing things Dayson and I have ever experienced.
There is no better way to experience and appreciate what our pioneer heritage went thru to establish the true Church of Jesus Christ here on this Earth. I will never forget the spirit that I felt those four days nor will I forget the bond that was created with the most wonderful kids in the world.

There were almost 200 kids on the trek, it was an amazing sight to see.

If I was asked to do the trek again next week, I would in a heart beat!

That's awesome. Everyone that goes on a trek pretty much says the same thing- that it was the greatest experience. I'm sure you and Dayson made a great ma and pa.

What an awesome experience! Our Stake does the trek once every 6 to 7 years. sierra was 13 when they did it last. So not ceretain she or Cole will get to experience it. (they only allow 14 and older in our stake)
Glad you 2 were able to go with Clayton! BTW love your clothes! you and Dayson look vintage, timeless fashion!
