Connect Retreat

We are so blessed with an amazing church family who is led by the most compassionate loving elders. They pray over us on a weekly basis and constantly take care of us the way God intended. Organizing this retreat for our family to get away, see HIM, encourage and build relationships with others in our church family is what this weekend is all about! My family looks forward to our time at Victory Ranch and Davis is already asking when next years retreat is!

The Emmy duo…

The rock climbing wall was a family affair, even if Emmy only wore the helmet! Davis was so incredibly determined to climb to the top. Mommy and daddy attempted it as well…this year, unlike last year, none of us made it to the top! Oh well, there is always next year!

Saturday afternoon a HUGE storm came through and somehow a couple of us got trapped in the metal building that housed all the life jackets…it got pretty entertaining then we all made a run for it!
