Jim and I and his cousin Fawn were in charge of Youth Conference for our ward. We did a Handcart Trek from the church parking lot to the campground up above town. It was about 7.5 miles all up hill. We thought that it would take all day. With stops for pioneer stories and trying to make it last a little longer we got there are 2:15. The kids were great and they had lots of free time. The next we had a service project, a big race ( three legged race, saw a log, paintball target, fill a jar with a spoon, watermelon eating, etc) the kids thought that was fun, a speaker on the history of the canyon and how things were in town when he was boy (when they got running water, logging, power, etc) then we went on a big spiritual scavanger hunt/ hike. We had a good program and testimony meeting that night. Everything turned out good and we are glad it is over.
We wore out the Bishop

We did a scavanger hunt where we ended up on top of a hill that overlooked that valley and raised a flag and had the kids committ to "Be strong and of a good courage" whichis the theme for the youth of the church this year

Wow, what a job! It looks like everything turned out great with all your hard work. Now you can take a well deserved rest!
You guys are so amazing! We are so lucky to have friends like you and this town is lucky to have you, too. You work so hard to make life better for all of us. Thanks for the posts. I love the horse riding pictures in the last post as well as the picture of the kids laying on the bridge and playing in the water. :)
Hey, I especially like Jim's hat. Looks like you had a good time.
