Family Adventure! - Bonclarken II, Flat Rock, NC

 

Happy Drew - On the road to Kingsport, TN.

 

Jenna resting in the car.

 

We stopped in Kingsport, TN for the night at our favorite hotel.  We visited this park in Kingsport the next morning.  THE BEST Playground we have seen!  This picture shows a really cool rocking boat that Drew's wheelchair fits into.  Next stop - Joni & Friends Family Retreat in Flat Rock, TN.  This will be our 3rd year!

 

Date Night for us.  Kids with their helpers for dinner.  We enjoyed a Christmas dinner and a walk around campus with our friends.

 Here is our group.  We are on the way to party.

 

This is actually the last night.  The girls all had to share their friend Meredith this year.

 

This was the tough part of being Jenna's helper.  Getting her to eat.

 

Here is Drew petting the mini horse.  He actually enjoys it and is a willing participant.

 

Here are Drew and his STM, Lori.  Turns out Lori was a private nurse for Ronald Reagan in his final years.  I guess that means Drew was in good hands for the week!

 

We had many, many snow cones.

 Dad and Drew resting. Both are happy!

 Here are Amelia and Dave after their rock wall climb.  Unfortunately, I missed it!  No pictures...

 I was there for this though...

 and this....

 and this....

 I did get pictures of Amelia on the horse.

 Here are my girls helping their new friend out with his dance for the talent show.

 A very, very tired and wiped out Jenna on the last morning.  She was the last one up and it was very hard to wake her!

Our 3rd year at Joni & Friends family retreat was just as fun as all the others!  We are wiped out!  We have a week off to recoup and them SCHOOL!
