Retreat in Rust-Colored Woods

 
Last week, we spent the weekend at a beautiful wooded camp for a youth retreat that we ran. The weather was amazing-- 50s or 60 degrees warm, blue skies, rust and amber colored leaves-- so special for November 6th-8th weather. The 45 teens and leaders connected in games indoor and out, worshiped together using drums and guitars, and enjoyed several sessions by a local Christian college professor turned pastor. It was neat to see God at work in us and our teens, and fun to connect all weekend long with our youth group.

What a fun quick read this book was. Several times yesterday and today, I was able to curl up on the couch and read further into it.

Halloween is here tomorrow and I have already dove into the bag of hand out candy this evening. Mmm, Whoppers, Heath bars. Chocolate is an amazing invention.

Pumpkins Stormed Our House Last Night


Last Wednesday, we finished up school and set out on a nature hike. Our anticipated yearly tradition is to scour the woods for the most colorful and striking fall leaves. My kids and I sauntered down to "our woods" and "our river," keeping a watchful eye out for the best leaves. At the river as the kids were playing, I got into a short conversation with a passing elderly couple about wild animals they had seen. They mentioned coyotes, foxes, and cougars spotted in the south of the cities. They even talked of two confirmed timberwolf sightings! The couple moved on, and I turned to relay this information to my kids. Already knowing about some black bear activity in the area the last few years, this newest information was exciting jet slightly scary!

Last night, our family enjoyed some take out Chinese food for a treat, and spent time carving out pumpkins. Each person got to focus on their own pumpkin face. Baby Daniel even got to have a pint-size pimpkin for him-- but his big brother helped make his face.
