The 5 things I learned as a Pioneer -

We had the wonderful opportunity to go on trek this year as a Ma and Pa. I'll be honest, at first I wasn't too thrilled with the idea but as time went on and preparations began to pay off, Trek actually turned out to be pretty fun.

I learned a lot about the Pioneers, here are a few of the lessons that I learned while on Trek.

1. You don't need to spend lots and lots of money at a salon to get a fancy exfoliating mud mask. Nope, we learned that nature provides it for you when you're living right.

2. It's never a good idea to stand in front of the handcart when a few of your "kids" are part oxen. I almost got run over a handful of times.

3. It is almost always a bad idea to walk 14 miles with a broken toe. I don't have pictures but I promise you it was ugly.

4. My husband makes one good looking pioneer. Who would have known? Thanks Trek for this revelation.

5. Pioneers had a great time, even though it was hard.

I am so grateful for such a wonderful Trek experience. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who has the opportunity.
