Thursday July 15 - Saturday July 17 Gregg and I participated in our Midway Stake Trek. We started at Cascade Springs and hiked with handcarts along the back side of the Wasatch/Uinta Mountains and came down Snake Creek Canyon. It was about 22 miles total.
This was our family {pictured above} Garrett, Nate {baby Sacagawea}, Alyssa, Pierce, Anna and Katherine. They were great and we loved getting to know their personalities better.

This was our kids idea of a "square" dance.

I think I can say that everyone had a great time. It was much more challenging to pull a hand cart than I thought. It was also very hot - but we all did it and there was very little complaining.
The best part was Sunday - Bishop called on several youth and adult leaders to share their testimonies and experiences in Sacrament Meeting. The youth also go to sing their Trek songs in church. I was called on as the last person to share my testimony. I shared on of my favorite quotes from trek that the Midway Stake singles ward bishop (Bishop Ashton, Marvin J. Ashtons son) shared with us at a devotional.
"If you take care of what is important to the Lord, the Lord will take care of what is important to you."
