Fall Retreat

Every year for the past while, "our" church (Lima) has a Fall Retreat at the Beulah Grove Campgrounds. It is so much fun and we have been able to go to all of them, I'm pretty sure, except for when we lived in Cayman. This year was no exception. We had a great time together.

Marea and Sarah checkin out the homemade bread.
Cousins, enjoying one anothers company, for the moment anyway!! :)
Cathy and Marea talking "recipes"
Would you check out those pants?! Karys was having lots of fun...which I'm sure her mother wasn't when it came time to do laundry!
Karys and Aubrey enjoying the kitchen set that Mom brought down.
Connie Howell brought a karaoke machine and here the youth are having a ball with it!
Little Tyler was trying to make a get-away!
Merlin and Joe enjoyed playing their harmonicas and the kiddos enjoyed watching a slide show on Pastor Bill's laptop.
The master-griller, my bigger bro!
Merlin carefully kept an eye on the homemade apple butter.
These pictures don't do justice for what went on this weekend. From quilting, to eating, to couponing, to fighting (boys, boys!!), to eating, to writing articles for the Pilgrim website, to enjoying campfires, to cooking, to eating, to the jumping castle for the kids,to eating, to the football games, it was quite the weekend. Oh, and did I mention the food? It was AWESOME! Our people know how to cook!! :) I think I gained 20 pounds in those 2 days...
