Maxine's pioneer trek...


There was trek for youth conference this year. I never did one. Maybe I feel like it's silly to haul handcarts when we have cars but whatever. I made Maxine a bonnet, skirt and shirt.

Jocelyn and Jared and Amy Hummel were there. Maxine was in Jared and Amy's "family."


The weather was crap. Crazy flash flooding forced the teams to turn around so they ended up hiking way farther than they were supposed to. And they were wet, soaked to the bone.



They found snakes so I guess all was forgiven.






Maxine wouldn't be Maxine without awesome hair. 


The first night, Maxine was trying to dry out her shoes by the fire and melted them like crazy. When she tried to grab them, she burned her finger on the melted rubber. She ended up borrowing another leader's extra pair of shoes. I don't know what she would've done otherwise. 


She says it was hard, like really hard but was also good. Whatever man, I'm just glad she's home safe.
