Church Retreat

A couple weeks ago we went on a great retreat with our church. It was at a Catholic retreat center only 30-40 minutes from our house, but on the edge of the city, so when we saw the mountains and fields surrounding us, it felt like we were really far away. True to our busy lives, we're just getting photos up now.

Ben and Ellie pay rapt attention during the Children's Program.

Ellie loves Kathi Bubb, the christian education coordinator and wife of the pastor.

Ben spent a lot of time fighting trees with sticks.

Ellie made a new friend--Nico. They were joined at the hip for the whole weekend.

The adults played tug of war (I'm in the blue shirt) while Ellie watched.

And Ellie and Nico climbed on rocks.

Wow! What a neat place and neat photos! I just love the look on Ellie's face as she listens to the Children's Program. It sure makes me want to hop a place and come them both a hug - you and Nathan, too!
Love,
Mom
