Lutherhaven Trailhead 3rd-6th grade retreat. Coop had a blast!

Cooper and Nate went to Lutherhaven this weekend with Coop's Kids of Christ group.  They both had a good time, but were homesick.  There was a ton of snow which was great for snowball fights, playing EPIC outside, outdoor campfires (brr) and sledding.  There were discussion groups, lots of music, worship, prayer, acting out bible stories and much more.  The food was amazing as usual.  Nate said he is now going to fast. :)  Cooper slept on a top bunk for the very first time.  He was quite tired when he got home today and his face was painted red from playing EPIC.  Glad they had a great time!  Here are some photos.

 Snowball fights!

 Headed up to homestead for a campfire at night.  Brrrr

I think he was a little bit cold.  

Lutherhaven headbands for everyone.  :)  

Thanks for a fabulous weekend Lutherhaven and the Kids of Christ Group.  We hope to go up as a family for the Shoshone Work Weekend in May.  We have only ever gone to Lutherhaven and love it, but would like to go to Shoshone.

As for the rest of us, we enjoyed a low key Friday night, early mornings at 6am both days, watched Charlie play basketball Saturday morning, went out for lunch after, saw "Smurf's 2" at the theater in Moscow for .62 cents each (How do you beat that?), boys JV and Varsity basketball games, and a worship dedicated to our friend Rosanna.  It was a wonderful service and good to see everyone.  We continue to pray for Rosanna and her family.
