The Adobe + Teens + Sunshine = Fun

Many of you know that last week I was stressing out.
Like in a HUGE way.

Should we cancel the trip due to weather?
Should we go?
Should we cancel?

We decided Friday morning...
the day we were to leave.

So Jack and I packed the car for 8...
8 bags... plus all the other stuff...
including 2 adults and 6 kids.




my helper carrying things to the car...

We are going. My friends told me "relax and enjoy"

I was still worried about the coastal passes, but God was so good. The roads were basically totally dry. Only 3 small patches of slick stuff. Amen!

The sky was brilliant blue... it was freezing (like 31-34 degrees) but gorgeous.
The girls we thrilled with their apartment. They all slept here... all 10 of them.


We also had 2 bedrooms with 4 beds... two bath... and a full kitchen. Not your usual pathfinder setup for sure.

I have 205 pictures from the weekend. I will only share a sample here...

We ate in a banquet room...


We made the girls go out in the 31 degree weather with wind for a Unit 3 photo..


We gave a church service at the Waldport Church... and it went fabulously.




Hands performed my favorite "My Redeemer Lives" and I somehow hurt my back...
(I guess I am old)

We played at the beach for hours...

the soccer field Chet made... let the games begin...

I spent an hour taking photos of these teens... everytime they would run to me to see what their picture looked like and climb back up the bluff to do it again...
this one is one of my favs.


and the "crazy counselor shot"

the kids said and I quote "maybe your not so old after all if you can do that!"

thanks.

unit 5 boys...


Unit 4 girls


Unit 3 girls




and we swam...


The food was fabulous.

The weather amazing.

The kids were awesome.

I actually came home from the weekend (besides my migraine, which is now gone) pumped up for the weekend and not completely exhausted like usual.

Thanks to those of you who prayed for our safety...
and believe it or not Shelly. Not sure if I have been happier to see rain than yesterday when we were driving home and it was not snow.

God is good.
