Ma and Pa Rogers-Family Hike
Here are the pics from my trek family's 2nd meeting. We had gone on a little hike on the rims up at Phillps Park. It was really fun! We stoped about halfway in a spot where we could all see the temple and had a devotional and talk about staying hydrated. On the way down we decided to go the "fun and challanging way" where we pretty much just climbed down one rock after another. It was a ton of fun and we are all looking forward for trek!

Ma and Pa Meeting #2-Ma and Pa Graham
John & Jane Bailey (Ma & Pa Graham) Family hiked Zimmerman Trail Saturday June 25th. Pa Graham discussed proper care of feet, first aid facts and how important it is to keep hydrated on the trek. A challenge was given by Ma Graham to test themselves to see if they were ready for the trek physically, by walking 4 miles in one hour. Kelesa Jordan our family music person helped us sing Come Come Ye Saints as other hikers stop to listen to the chorus of young pioneers, Aspen Dimond, McKenzie Kauer and D'Mitai Ange sing. We all enjoyed the early morning hike and getting to know each other better. We hope the rest of our family members will catch up with us on the next 'leg of the trail'.
Ma and Pa Meeting-Ma and Pa Anderson
We met last month for breakfast, what's a meeting without food! We learned about our family names, talked about our flag theme, assigned a big sister, "Alex Solomon" and our historian, "Kaitlin Olsen. We are going to have a lot of fun as we work together to build this family!

Ma and Pa Meeting-Ma and Pa Layton
Here is a photo of the John Bond Family. We had our first meeting June 5th and had 6 kids in attendance. They were: Alex Wambach, Christopher Wilcox, Kyla Pollock, Keri Richmond, Bailey Spratling and Eddie Jorden. I can already tell we have an amazing group of youth and it was so fun to get to know them and to learn the history of the John Bond Family. Our family historian will be Keri Richmond, which is very fitting because she is a budding photographer.

Ma and Pa Meeting-Ma and Pa Pollock
Our first meeting was fantastic. We sang "Come, Come Ye Saints". We also planned some activities that we are going to do before the trek to get to know each other in our "family"; for example, we are going to go on a hike and create a flag.
