Handcart TREK

So dirty. So cold (it hailed). So long (25 miles). So sore. So dirty. So many meetings. So dirty. So much work. So many blisters. So so so so dirty. BUT...

SO WORTH IT.

Jimmy and I were a Ma and Pa for TREK. To be honest, we were almost burnt out by the time the actual TREK came because of the number of meetings, activities, parties, phone calls, fliers, texts, etc that we had to do. (we got the calling 7 months ago!). But in the end, it was worth it. Such a spiritual experience and I was in such awe watching my husband take over as the Pa of our 10 kids and make it work. He is so incredible!

Push Jimmy!

It was really really dusty!

It was always dusty so we pretty much lived for 4 days with our hankys like this
Can you see the dust above?

We look so clean! This is us before we left on the trek waiting for our kids to arrive.
