EVERYONE'S A WINNER!

Below is their triumphant return! Okay, just Kaiti's! The battery on my camera died before Alex got off the bus so I don't have a picture of him, oops!




Trek was an amazing experience for both my kids! They both loved it, although for very different reasons. Alex I think more emotionally prepared for the experience. He loved his trek family and loved the fact that his best friend, who is a non member bore his testimony! Kaiti had a great time too. I think she learned a lot and loved the social aspect!

I loved that they missed us! I was glad for the opportunity to miss them too! I love my kids and sometimes I forget I only have them for a small portion of their lives and then they grow up and leave me.

They say "absence makes the heart grow fonder!" I think we all felt a little fonder of one another, at least for the first week of their return. Since then it's been business as usual! So I guess we're all winners!

Just when I thought was looking good....

My mom sent me this picture. Sadly it is too familiar Troy and I laughed for awhile though. Thought I'd share the fun!

Place Your Vote Here!

So Kaiti and Alex went on the Trek. When my sister Kristy and I went, I thought it was the best experience of my life while she TOTALLY HATED IT! So I thought it might be fun, since my pioneer children come home today, to have a vote! On the right is the tally! Go ahead and place your vote there. Meanwhile, to my family who are voting for the big prize at Island Park, leave your comments so I know how you voted and can pick a winner!
