Nathan went to Trek this year. For those of you who don't know what that is, they take the youth from our church and recreate the experience of the Mormon pioneers moving west. The kids dressed up in clothing the pioneers wore and pulled handcarts across the plains of Oklahoma. Nathan had an amazing experience. They hiked 17 miles over the course of 3 days in the blazing hot sun. When he got home, I asked him how it was. He surprised me by saying he had a great experience and a fun time. I don't know if I'd describe that as fun, but he really did have a great time. He came home smiling and happy and sunburned. His face is sure weather-worn. I think it's cute actually.
Here he is at 4am (too early to be awake!) heading out to start the trek.
I should have taken pics of him when he got home so I could show before and after, but it never occurred to me then because he was so incredibly dirty.
