The Balls Family: The Trek

The Trek

It was Ethan's chance to go on the Trek this year. They left on June 29th. They didn't get to go to Martin's Cove in Wyo., which I got to go to when I was in young womens. Martin's Cove was a great experience, especially the mass grave that Pres. Hinckley dedicated by Rocky Ridge. I felt the Spirit at the grave site so strong, that I was brought to tears that streamed down my cheeks.

Ethan's trek was at Hardware Ranch. I know he had a wonderful time and it was a great experience for him, even though he didn't want to be in a family with people he didn't know. He was a trooper and went with a smile on his face.

Grandparents. . . written by a class of 8 year olds

Grandparents don't have to do anything except be there when we come to see them. They are so old they shouldn't play hard or run. It is good if they drive us to the shops and give us money.

Usually grandmothers are fat but not too fat to tie your shoes.

They show us and talk to us about the colors of the flowers and also why we shouldn't step on 'cracks.'

They don't say, 'Hurry up.'

A grandfather is a man & a grandmother is a lady!

Everybody should try to have a grandmother, especially if you don't have television because they are the only grownups who like to spend time with us.
