A hike with Preston

-
My brother-in-law was planning on going on a hike with some of his friends when some of the guys couldn't go any more so he asked Preston if he would like to go. Now this was not just any hike it was a back packing trip on the teton crest it takes five days to complete the hike. 32 miles in all. Preston said he would like to go so we started getting him ready for the hike. The day before he was going to leave we heard that they still had a few spots that could be filled so I thought to myself you should go. I called my sister Treva and said lets go with them. She thought I was crazy at first but then realized I was serious. So we got ready and we got to go along. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I have never walked so much in my life the nights were really long but I have never seen anything more beautiful in my life. I loved spending this time with Preston and my sister. Sam her husband was so patient with us all. I know we slowed him down quit a bit but he never made us feel that way. I am so happy I got to go. It made me realize that no mater how hard things are I can keep on walking. I can keep going.
We even had a bear come into our camp the last day. It was crazy to be so close to a bear. He was little and just walked by and left. I have to admit it was a little scary.

Preston turned 12 years old on the 29th. I can't believe it! Where does the time go? I know I always say this but my little boy can't be going into junior high school. If you know Preston you know that he is a great kid. He loves telling jokes and is really good at it. He has the best laugh. It always puts a smile on my face. He is always willing to help us out when we need it. He has kept himself busy this last year by spending time with his friends, swimming on the swim team, scouting and of course at this age he loves his video games. He loves kicking back with Jared and playing World of Warcraft. Preston we love you! Happy Birthday!
