Camping and Trekking; It's Gonna Be An Endless Summer



The last two weeks in June were extremely busy. It seems like that is the way it goes sometimes, a bunch of stuff all at the same time and then we have nothing to do (although looking ahead at the July calander it's looking pretty busy too). We started out with ward girl's camp in Ogden Canyon. I'm second counselor in my ward YW's presidency so I get to go to camp with Caitlin. We were gone four days and three cold nights. But it was a great experience and we all enjoyed ourselves. Mike came for one day and night as a Priesthood leader and it was fun having him there too.
As soon as we got home from camp we were rushing to get Caitlin ready for pioneer trek (a re-enactment of the Mormon pioneers who pulled handcarts across the plains). I was busily sewing her pioneer clothes every night after work and I think she looked pretty cute in them. She was a bit apprehensive about going but was determined that she would do it. She left on Thursday morning the 26th and got home on Saturday night. Friday night Mike and I went up to trek so that Mike could help out with the music while the trekkers square danced. She was happy to see us but was quite busy with her trek "family". She was a happy camper, I mean trekker.
There were about 17 "families" on trek, this is Caitlin's trek "family" (Caitlin is on the back row wearing black)

On Saturday our week ended with West Bountiful's 4th of July celebration. Yes, we celebrated the 4th of July on June 28th. Endless Summer has become West Bountiful's favorite hometown band. Hundreds gathered at the city park for the concert which was followed by fireworks. It was a great celebration!!
