Trek

Brayden and Brooklyn have been getting ready for trek for a few months with our ward. Brayden was excited to go, but Brooklyn hasn't been thrilled that we were making her go. It has been a crazy month and we've been extremely busy, so getting ready for trek was kind of a lower priority.  But we finally got around to it and got all the clothes and items they needed to go. They loved it! Even Brooklyn had a hard time admitting that she had fun and enjoyed it. 

And yes Brayden was a pirate pioneer lol. He was shooting hoops in our gym the day before trek and felt something in his eye. He tried everything to get it out and nothing worked. I even tried everything I could think of to flush it out and still couldn't get it out. Luckily Brielle's eye doctor was able to squeeze us in since Brayden was going on trek. Turns out he got a piece of metal that impaled in his eye. So rare and odd. We think when he was lowering the hoop a piece of metal shavings from the backboard got in his eye. It was pretty deep but luckily the eye dr was able to get it out and got us some antibiotics. He was actually thrilled to have to wear an eye patch for trek and owned it! I was a little nervous sending him on a windy, dusty experience but the trek doctor took care of him and made sure it didn't get infected.
