escape

just when i didn't think i could face one more day of too much homework, soccer practices, games, dinners, chores, dirty floors and gross toilets...

mysweetmess was swept away to the mountains!

this has become an annual event for our family (thanks to two of the most generous people we know!)

far from traffic, noise, lights, sidewalks and all things city, we got slow down, draw near to each other and be close and cozy with our incredible church community!

amazing worship, insightful talks and tons of fun family free time!

this year was extra fun as the kids took on some exciting ropes courses...

rock climbing walls and of course, the famous all church kick ball game!(it got too competitive for pictures!)

not all our people were of the right height for the climbing sports and this of course led to some tears...

but true to her "accept life as it is" form, this "not tall enough" one smiled on and went fishing! we are ever so grateful for this weekend getaway...t and d thanks for making it all possible! we LOVE you heaps!!!!
