Staff Retreat at Eden

 Our family of six enjoyed our first trip to Eden, a mountain resort near our city.  What a blessing the staff retreat was held here, so our family could enjoy the blessings and fun!  It was our first time here.
The boys had fun fishing for the first time.  Here Elijah and Malachi caught a fish at the same time!  We watched the guy clean them, cook them, and then we ate them. (See Facebook album for more pics).
 They had some fun "Indiana Jones" zip lines near the restaurant, so after every meal Elijah went on them for fun.
 We hiked the mountain trail, which included this hanging bridge and also some other bamboo bridges.
 Elijah enjoyed time with his friends--ready for Kindergarten to start!
 Luke did not enjoy the horse ride---another first for us.  None of them had ever ridden a horse, so we had fun.  Though Luke was terrified at first, he came around the loop with a more calm look on his face.

Pray for us as we begin another school year--our tenth one at this school!  Pray for Nate and his classes, for Elijah going to school for the first time, and for unity and fruitfulness.
