TREK 2010
Notice the dark black sky behind the boys.
That was the rainstorm that was minutes away from us.
Morgan Sillito was trying to eat as much as she could before leaving.. Joking
It was her breakfast she was finishing
The rain started coming down as we finished taking the group shot.
These were the only pictures I got because Brandon didn't take any with his camera.
They left in a downpour but the boys said it stopped as soon as they reached
their drop site. But with all the rain there was lots of mud and the roads were
washed out. They had to pull their handcarts from 12:00 -10:30 pm
They were soaked from having to cross the river and then pull through the
wet grass and hungry with only their bun and broth, but I think that
after the hardships of the first day they enjoyed the Trek experience.
I get a lot more details from Brandon. I really think he loved his Family and
the whole time there. AJ on the other hand doesn't say a lot. He just says
he'll never do it again( I think he feels he has to complain to be cool.) but that he liked the candy making.
Brandon did not like having to kill the Turkey but I think they all loved eating it.
They were in good spirits but really really dirty when they got home.
As their mom I'm glad they went, and I think they are too.

Those boys sure do look like awesome pioneers! Sounds like an adventure with rain, little food, and the killing of the turkey. These experiences do build character right? Hopefully AJ will be willing to go next time it comes around. :)
