Costume Party Anyone?




Here are some snapshots of our Fall Exravaganza! We had loads of food, candy, costumes, games and prizes. We did this for the kids but the adults had just as much fun, if not more! Myles was the champion at Limbo, he got the lowest, Troy lost miserably in a game where he ate chocolate pudding from a diaper while blindfolded and I won at the relay game. We went as fuzeball players (as you can see). We had one family as Lord of the Rings cast, another as Romans, hippies, babies, trees, Tinkerbell....and on! It was a great to have Frodo and Gandolf the Grey at our party! The kids from the English Class Troy is teaching learned all about the holiday and dressed up as well. They carved squash, ate candy and bobbed for apples. Next up is Thanksgiving so be looking for more pictures!

A retreat up into the mountains of T-stan!!





Here are some pictures from our retreat up in the mountains. The air was fresh, the mountains were enormous and beautiful and the place we stayed had a natural hot springs! We soaked in the lovely sulfur water and felt 10 years younger. It was great to connect with our teammates as well as welcome Rees, Sara and their 2 kiddos. As you
can see, Myles got a little soak in his own "hot springs" too. We will definitely retreat here again. Where else can you soak in hot springs, ride a donkey down a hillside, play pool and fuzeball and have your meals cooked for you? LOVED IT! (except I got sick from the food...... dang giardia!!!! Can't seem to get away from it!!)
