Trek

Sorry this has taken forever for me to get on here and write about trek.

  So, the first day I had to get up at 4:00, to be at the stake center by 4:30. I had to wear my trek clothing to the stake center. When I had gotten there, they leaders had us wait for the other people to get there. I waited for about ten minutes. Just before we were about to leave I realized that I had forgotten a lunch. So, I borrowed one of the leaders phone and called mom to get a lunch. She got it to me just in time. We each got to pick something for breakfast. We could chose between muffins, or granola bars. They had some juice there as well. Then, we loaded onto the bus.
  The bus drive was long. It took six hours to get up there. We went to Martins Cove.
  When we got there, we ate lunch and then went on a mile hike without the handcarts. We walked up to Devils Gate. And then, we went back and got the handcarts and walked to the campgrounds. It was three mile from where we were.
  When we got to camp we had to set up our own tents. They were really nice tents, they were actually brand new. After we put up our tents, we went and got our stuff from the handcarts and from the trailer. We had free time after that until dinner.
  For dinner we had pulled pork sandwiches with watermelon.
  After dinner we listened to a story about Ephriam's Rescue. Then we went and had family time. At family time we conbined with one other family. We played a get to know you game. We each got some skittles and then when my Pa chose a number and a color, whoever was closest to the number, Pa would ask you something you dream of doing. Then, you could eat all of that color. Then, we played a game were a rope was tied to two people's hands and you had to get the rope untangled but, you can't take the rope off your hands. They were all able to do it.
  Then, it was time to go to bed, we all had ten minutes to get ready. But, most of the camp was still up past 10 which was lights out. That night, Brother Kidd's family played pranks on everybody. He did all sorts of things. He put rocks in people sleeping bag, he had his kids play bop-it in front off people's tents, and lots of other things.
  In the morning, we got up and went to go get breakfast. We all had to do our chants. Our was, "We're the Beaver, we're the best dam builders in the West!" Whoevers was the best got to get breakfast first, we were number 3 but, whoever who was there first was first, we got there first. For breakfast we had sausage, eggs, and pancakes. They made a ton so we all got seconds.
  Then, we all packed up to go on a 6 mile hike. We then went to the river. There we got to cross the river. I crossed it, the tide was really strong. Then, afterwards, most of us got chaving. We walked to a pavillion and had lunch, we got pb&j sandwiches, chip, beef jerky, a fruit, and a oatmeal creme cookie. After that we walked up to a apitheater and were told some stories about the Martin and Willie Handcart Comp. Then we walked up Martin's Cove and went to the top. Then, we sat there for a couple minutes. Before we left one of the Ma's passed out and so we had to take her kids back down for her.
  When, we got back down we walked back to camp. On the way back down to camp there was a steep hill. That was where we did the womens pull. First, we started with some stories about some of the women who had hardships along the way. Then, we went and got the handcarts, the hill was covered in sand so it was quite hard. I had to push on the back of one cart. We got to the top the men were standing with there hats over there hearts.  When all but one cart was remaining, all the girls went down and followed it up the hill singing, "Armies of Helamen" The men pulled the carts to the campgrounds from there.
  When we got back to the campgrounds one the boys tent which was huge had blown about 10 feet from where it was originally. The wind was blowing really hard. We had some free time before dinner. Some of us were in our tents. The wind was blowing so hard that we had to take our tents down. And then, it starting hailing. We ran and went behind the bathrooms. One of the boys came over and said there was room in the trailers for us so we ran over there. After a few minutes the wind died down. We then got dinner out and we had stew. All the food was delicious.
  Then, we did skits. The were all really funny. In ours we did a confession making thing, and it was about pranks, and we all said we were Brother Kidd and listed something he has done the passed day.
  Then, we had a testimony meeting. Next, we had family time, we just talked until it was bedtime. Then, we went to sleep. In the morning, we got up and ate breakfast, we had breakfast borritos. Then we packed up and left for a 3 mile hike to where we were meeting the busses.
  When we got there, we had to wait a little while for the busses. Then, we all got on and left. We stopped at a gas station because one of the busses broke down. We stayed there for about 20 minutes, then they decided to get as many people on the buses from the one that broke down on to the other ones. We went to the Sixth Crossing. We had lunch there and we played kick ball, while we waited for the bus to be fixed or another bus would come. That bus was 3 1/2 hours away. So, we waited, but about 1 1/2 hours passes and then the bus that broke down came fixed. We all got on and then it broke down again. We waited for a half hour, and then the leaders decided to let all the kids get on the bus and go and leave them there until the other bus came. But, there was extra seats, so the leaders got to come after all.
  We were 5hours behind schedule. So, we got back at 11 instead of 6. When got there, I picked up my stuff and then mom picked me up and took me home. When I got home, I went straight to bed.

Love you guys all so much, and I miss you grandma and grandpa!!!! If you have any questions feel free to ask.
