Courtney and Dillon went on a Pioneer Trek to learn and think about their pioneer heritage. They walked about 15 miles over three days and slept out in the open, under the stars. The got dirty. They sang songs, and learned about some of the people who walked those plains long ago. Their own great, great grandpa Willard Richard Skousen walked across the plains, riding mostly on the shoulders of his dad, James Niels Skousen, who came over from Denmark in 1862, so his family could have religious freedoms and a better life.
We are thankful everyday for the sacrifices of our ancestors.
