Pioneer Trek

4 members of our family were privileged to go on the pioneer trek with our stake last summer. (June 2009)_ Kendon went as a big brother, Bly in back-up camp, Emily and Ramsay got to experience it as youth assigned to different families. They all had a wonderful experience. I was supposed to go but because of the cancer treatments was not able.
This was Kendon's 3rd Trek... this time he went as a big brother. He said it was the best Trek yet, very spiritual. I'm sure he was a great big brother... Ma Bingham said so... and I know what a great big brother he is in our family! love ya, Son!

Bly played many roles. His main role was in back up camp, setting up and taking care of the needs of all of the trekkers. He is an extremely hardworking individual and put as much effort into the success of this event as did anyone. He also got to dress up and play many other roles as well. Here he is dressed as an Indian. He also dressed as a soldier recruiting for the Mormon Battalion and as a mail carrier for the pony express. He rode a horse for both of those roles.

Here is Ramsay pulling with her family.Bly and Brother Bradford, (now our bishop) did pretty well with the handsaw competition.
