The reason we went to Utah earlier than usual was so Baylie could be back in time for Pioneer Trek. She was super nervous, but excited. Some people debate the importance of trek, but I'm a believer. I think it's something that teaches lessons that are best learned through personal experience. I had the opportunity to attend as a youth and later work as a trek ma through BYU one summer. I've been on trek 14 times.
Baylie was an adorable pioneer.
She took the world's smallest harmonica.
We had a good group of kids from our ward.
Saying goodbye!
With the bishop part way through the week.
They had a professional photographer who did a great job of getting pictures of the kids.
After five days, we returned to pick up a very dirty, very tired, very happy Baylie.
With her "ma and pa" the Outzs.
With Olivia and Rachel Chorey.
With the girls from the ward: Allie and Natalie Bailey, Baylie, Rachel Chorey, Talia Stroud, and Kaitlyn Bailey.
We were so happy to get her back and hear of all her experiences. She had a wonderful time.
While she was gone, we took the Brusins to Saluda Shoals Park to play a little since their parents were on Trek. It's an amazing park that is designed to be accessible for children with disabilities.
Calee was a hoot.
The zipline is awesome.
We also went to see the Mario Bros movie. I had a great nap.

It was a great week for everyone. I look forward to Jalen being able to go on trek.
