Trekking

Since we had recently celebrated Pioneer Day (and especially since my mom had made up all these pioneer pictures with stories of our ancestors for a Sharing Time the previous day), Emily and I decided to do a Pioneer lesson for Family Home Evening. It was fun for the kids to experience "life" as a pioneer.

Um, I realized after I uploaded this picture that it is NOT from FHE, lol. Oh, well. Joe and Bekah (9 months) are still so darn cute...
Who cares about the stinkin' pioneers? Josh and Caleb just want to drive cars
Addie (8) tells us the story of Adeline Gibbons, her namesake
Emily leads our pioneer party on to Zion
Camping for the night
We were all horrified when Lizzie became very sick one night
Addie had to carry her the rest of the way to our new home

I was all shocked and worried when it said that you all became "horrified" when Lizzie became sick. I thought it was for real! Whew. Oh, and I still think Randon and Joe look similar. The dark hair and glasses maybe. Hm, then again maybe I'm not getting good pictures of either. Who knows.
