Trek 2017

Still working on getting my Germany photos uploaded; hopefully, by the end of the weekend and before we leave for 12 days to Italy.  In the meantime I will share with you another adventure Winston got to have just after we left for Germany. Every 4 years, my church participates in an activity called Trek. My son Harris participated 4 years ago and had a blast. Trek's purpose is to teach the youth about the early pioneers and all the sacrifices that they went through during that time period. They really can't teach them all the lessons to be had during that time period, but they get to sleep outside, pull hand carts, eat food cooked over a campfire. The fun part is that they do this all dressed up in pioneer clothes. There is no cells phone. They assign the kids families and for 3 days they work together as a team while walking 26 miles.  Winston had a blast!  I am pretty sure he came home and took a long nap too.
