We had an amazing weekend with our youth! We left Friday afternoon for a weekend ski/snowboard trip with our great youth and wonderful leaders. We arrived at our house, The Old Greer House, in Banner Elk around 8:45 Friday night. After getting settled we enjoyed time in the Word and some "ski and snowboard tips" from Jon and David. Saturday morning came early, and we were loaded up and ready to go up to Beech Mountain at 7:55 a.m. We actually pulled out of the driveway five minutes early. The kids were with us and Cindy watched them at David and Rhonda's house on the slopes...the police had to drive us up there Saturday morning because our church van wouldn't make it up the road! Jon and I hit the slopes on our boards and we loved it! It had been two years since either of us had boarded, so we were excited to be able to enjoy the slopes Saturday. Our youth enjoyed themselves as well. A lot of them had neither skied or boarded, but they took lessons and gave it their best shots! One of our guys broke his wrist on his last run down the mountain, but other than that everyone else was injury free...unless you count REALLY sore muscles as injury! Cindy made some great spaghetti Saturday night for us and we enjoyed Bible Study and games after dinner! Sunday morning we were in the Word again and packed up for the trip home. We went to Hawksnest and tubed on our way home. What fun! Ava got to enjoy tubing as well...she loved it and really enjoyed her last ride down the tubing run. She rode with Brittney and they went "super fast!"
Collin, Jessica, Travis, Brittney, Rhonda and David getting ready for a much needed lunch break...skiing and snowboarding sure does make you hungry!
Emet and Ava in a tube...no, Emet didn't go tubing, and he didn't really like sitting in it for the picture either. But, I still thought it was cute!
