'The toughest aspect has been the healing we're all experiencing as we walk our way towards a new and better life,' the mom told Newsweek.
Bettis and her kids have had to push through downpours and thunderstorms while hiking through the White Mountain National Forest, encountering thick mud and slick rocks.
While Bettis said she has"too many" favorite memories, one unforgettable moment happened on Mother's Day when they were awakened by the wild ponies of Grayson Highlands poking their heads inside the family's tents. However, the kids frequently fire back at those scrutinizing the family's adventure. One of Bettis' 10 sons, 17-year-old Garrett, said he originally wanted to stay home but eventually tried to"make the best of it." He said he soon realized all the memories the family was creating on the trail, adding that it brought them all"closer to each other."
Despite the scrutiny and backlash, Bettis said her family has met some"incredible" people on their hike, thanks to social media.that while the trail has challenges, she would do it all again in a heartbeat, saying that her family has"lost in the past but this trail and its people have given back so much more."A photographer, Chelsea Bordonaro, 36, of Stockbridge, Massachusetts, is one of several people who have helped the family.
