Martin's Cove Trek




We went on a trek at Martin's Cove and Sixth Crossing site with our stake. We pulled handcarts reenacting the Mormon Pioneer migration. It was a lot of fun for our little family. We were in a handcart group with others from our ward totaling 10 people. We camped for 3 nights and walked around 5 miles a day. It was neat to cross the Sweetwater river like the pioneers did and to go into Martin's cove where 56 people died during the winter of 1856. Our girls traveled well. We took turns carrying them or pushing them in the cart.



After our trek we went to Laramie to spend the 4th with my family. We sure enjoyed the last "rendezvous" in Laramie before everyone moves. Macy especially loved the Fireworks and playing with Isaac. Baby Zachary was very cute. We concluded that he and Emry are opposites. She is bald and fat and he is skinny and hairy. It will be fun to watch them grow and change.

Today Macy got her first haircut! She looks so grown up! Here are these pics to show off the new "doo."
