My Sweet Grace, who I loved having great quality time with! On Friday, December 18th Julie left Caleb and Craig at home to drive 18 hours to Crested Butte, Colorado with 100+ high school kids and leaders. They had 2 charter busses full of excited kids, tons of luggage, enough food to feed an army, and plenty of movies to keep them all occupied.
The SUPER girls in my room: Grace, Madeline, Taylor, and Grace
They left at 8:45 pm on Friday evening drove through the night and arrived sometime after 2ish. They had a few long stops for breakfast and lunch (it takes a while to feed 100+ mouths even if it is a fast food place).
The girls all skiing together
Saturday afternoon consisted of checking in, renting skis, and getting ready for 3 days of skiing. During the trip there were many laughs at the great skits (our good friend Stacey was an actor in), funny stories from skiing on the mountain, our "Brother Cabin", a traditional "Shirtless Run" that the guys do on the last day, tubing, jumping with bungee tramploline, and plenty of jokes on the bus rides.

Braun Brown was our speaker for Club on Saturday night, Sunday night, and Monday night. He spoke about the Three Kings that did what was right in the eyes of the Lord but only Hezekiah was the only faithful king that turned to God when things got tough. Both Joash and Amaziah turned their backs on finding their security in God. This was an appropriate lesson just days before the celebration of the one true KING!!.JPG)
Julie is truly blessed to have been able to go on this 5 day vacation and is so thankful of her incredible husband and mom who served her so willingly. Both Julie and Craig realized with their time apart that we are not complete when we are apart. Caleb is different (not bad, sad, etc) but just different when the whole family isn't together. What an experience and so grateful to have been a part of.
