So... as you might be aware, Chuck and I were asked to be "ma & pa" for the upcoming pioneer trek for our stake this October. To help us prep physically for this trek, we have some different hikes to participate in. The first was "A" Mountain... Chuck did that one and I stayed home with the kids. But the second was Windcaves at Usery Pass. We took our kids and well as M&M from our ward (I teased the girls cause I was surrounded by M&M's... my girls and well as the girls from the ward). Macee pretty much got a free ride to the top (she is a princess you know!) and the others did good hiking up by themselves. We made it to the top, enjoyed the view and headed back down. It was an easy hike.
Macee coming up the last little bit.
Mean 'ol daddy made her hike a little bit on her own 2 feet!
The crew at the top.
Yup... I was there too! I'm just usually behind the camera.
Macee's promised M&M's at the top.
Whatever gets her there!

Then last week we did Squaw Peak. This time we left the kids home and took an extra YW with us! This hike was quite tough, as it is pretty much straight up (coming down was the easy part). But I made it (and so did all the girls) and I'm glad I did. The view was GORGEOUS!!! The weather was beautiful... we couldn't have asked for a better day! It was about 77 out and breezy/windy and it ended up raining on us! BEAUTIFUL!!!
See the rain??? My house was getting a good storm at this point.
There's another cell out there. The lightening was absolutely AWESOME!!!

My goal in life is to someday be asked to be a ma and pa for a pioneer trek.
A few years back in our ward they announced that they were having a pioneer trek. They didn't say youth trek. I got really excited thinking that they were having one for the whole ward to go on if they wanted. Ryan had to burst my bubble and let me know that yes, it really was for just the youth.
I hope you enjoy your trek.
Oh, can I count this as an RSVP for Saturday?
