Retreat Weekend

This weekend Brian, Josiah, Grace and I had the opportunity to hang out with the college and career group from church and what a fantastic weekend it was!  Hannah stayed home with a friend and it was nice to just have the older two kids.  Retreats are never very restful, but they are loaded with fun and fellowship!  And we had some serious FUN!  Josiah may have had the most fun of anyone as he ventured to do everything that everyone else was doing, including a pretty awesome slide and a zipline! I have to take a moment and brag on this little 4 almost 5 year old.  He was nervous about the zipline, but all it took to get him harnessed up was this phrase from his daddy, "Josiah I'll buy you a new lego set if you go on the zipline!"  haha and he did it, twice! and wanted to keep doing it.

We really are privileged to be a part of these young peoples lives and thankful for the impact they have on us and our kids and we pray this year that we all will continue to learn more about who God is.

 He looked so little flying down that zipline, we called him "fishbait", because he looked like bait on a fishing line :-)

Perfect weather however, the water temperature was at least in the 50's, but that didn't stop anyone from the Polar Bear Plunge!
