I was woken up at 5:30 again this morning to make breakfast. We scrambled eggs and made breakfast burritos.

Even though we had given him some bacon, Oscar caught a rabbit for breakfast and some of the kids watched him tear of the rabbit's head and eat it. I didn't watch and I don't have a picture of that.

After we sent the kids and their handcarts out on the trail that morning, we had to take down the kitchen and all of our tents. The kids were just trekking back to the visitor's center that day and we served them lunch there again, and then they got on the buses to go home. We had a little bit of free time and some of us women had some handcart races with the two handcarts we had there at camp. We got another call about a sick girl, I think it might have been the same one from the day before, and there were two girls still in the camp who hadn't gone out on the trail that day. My husband and I took our car and took those two girls, met the hand carts on the trail and picked up the sick girl and then drove them all to the visitor's center. We had some time there to go through the visitor's center and see their little film, before serving lunch. Then we drove home. Our son drove home with us instead of going on the bus.

This isn't a picture from that day, but this is a picture of the whole group on the trail. They're kind of far of, but you can get an idea how long the trail of handcarts was.

The trek was a great experience. But it was nice to be home in my own bed that night.
