It sounds like everything went well. Yay! Fun pictures too :)
I don't get why kids are subjected to this, but i guess most have fun. glad it's not me!
Well, it's sounds like it turned out to be a good experience, despite the understandable hesitation leading up to the exodus.
I imagine it gives you a little better flavor for the types of things our forefathers and foremothers endured.
Lynette,
Sounds like you had a successful Trek. Where did you do it?
We have a friend who did the big one in'97 from Missouri to Salt Lake City. He wore out many pairs of shoes but it was an experience that changed his life!
Fun reading your blogs.
