This is my family from my mini trek!! It was AWESOME!! We all had handcarts and dressed as pioneers. The handcarts looked like the weighed nothing but they weight like 100 pounds (not really). We were down in Salt Lake in a little mini town that was first built there by the pioneers. It was so cool. This is how it went: 

Friday: Drove on a nice comfy bus for 5 hours to SLC. Set up camp and toured the city and learned about pioneers. Then we had this really awesome dance for like an hour and a half!! Me, Jessica, and Saydee danced the WHOLE TIME. It was SO FUN. Then we had a fireside and went to our tents at about 10:30. We didn't fall asleep until 11:30. Then we all woke up at 2 in the morning because the wind was so strong that it blew a tent down a hill, the bishop's and laurel's tent collapsed, and a bunch were caving in. Ours was fine though. It was Sister Black's first time EVER camping. crazy right?

Saturday: Woke up at like 6 in the morning. They gave us the rules, and we had this really awesome spiritual experience where the pioneer people that worked there acted out parts of Joseph Smith's life. It was so cool. Then we got our families!! (above) 

Our Family Name: THE INCREDIBLES but if anybody asked, we were the Parrs.

Our Family Motto: "STAND UP. SHUT UP. AND KEEP WALKING." later we changed it to: "STAND UP. SHUT UP. AND SPRINT!!"

Our Family Cheer: "SLIDING DOWN A TOOTHPICK. CLIMBING UP A CACTUS. WE CLIMB THIS TRAIL JUST FOR PRACTICE!"

Then we went 5 miles on our trek with our carts. Our wheel almost broke so we had to go back and get a new one. :( We also got to stand on the hill where Brigham Young stood and told the saints that they were settling in the SLC. We also had a testimony meeting and then we left for another 5 hour trip home. It was awesome. :)
