We arrived at our second Joni and Friends Family Retreat in Flat Rock, NC last Monday. Here are the kids with their STM's (Short Term Missionaries- Helpers - Kat, Victoria, & Meredith) for the week.
Here are Andrew and our friend Mike from home!
Golf Carts were the preferred method of getting around campus.
Here we are with our friends from home at our "Date Night" on Wednesday night.
Here are Andrew and Kat at breakfast. Drew could sleep and eat at the same time. Here he is happily eating bacon - lots of bacon.
On the first day of activitites, the girls chose Archery. Here's Ava's turn.
The kids went swimming the first day. The water was COLD.
Here's Jenna getting a pedicure.
Amelia's turn for a pedicure.
Andrew touching the miniature horses
Crazy Hair/Hat Day! That's the door way to our rooms behind them.
Super Water Slip-in-Slide. Jenna & Meredith's turn.
Ava - mid-splash
Yes, I allowed Andrew to be hoisted into the air at the rock wall. This was as far as I could tolerate though...
Amelia before her rock wall climb.
Amelia beating daddy up the wall.
Jenna horseback riding.
Ava with her balloon animal dog.

Ava's turn on the horse.
The talent show and the Children's programming. The kids sang a song.
Jenna and Meredith before breakfast. The girls -even Amelia had many, many piggy back rides around campus.
Here we are on the last sad morning with Kat before we said goodbye.
I was listening to Jenna helping her doll Meredith to pray. I got the camera and she and trout were praying "that Trout was able to get back into the river".
As we said goodbye. One last photo.
Non-stop fun, treats, snacks, friendship, and fun. Now we are back home and getting ready for the school year to begin....
