Mountain Retreat

We're back! We survived! We had a blast! We got little sleep starting Friday night since we had to get up at 5 a.m. to get donuts from Krispie Kreme before leaving at 6a.m. We drove to the gorge and hiked. Annie actually hiked most of the 2 mile hike down including the stairs. She's a trooper. A little cross-coutry runner after my heart. It's cute right now because John will run backwards and he says, " Look I'm Mater!" She starts running faster and says, "KACHOW...McQueen! Mc Queen!" We had adoration both nights up at the lodge. During the day we practiced music with some of the guys and they lead the fast music for Praise and Worship. John made them, saying, "I've gotta retire some day!" They did awesome. Hopefully they will continue to lead music at 6:00 mass now too. Tubing, swimming, running in the fields, and paint balling. Gotta love the lodge in Helen! Annie even got to ride a horse with Maura. Sorry no pictures of this because it was kinda spontaneous. Here are some other pics though!
