Karen and I went up to Sierra Pines this weekend to help staff the Lakeside winter youth retreat.  We had over 80 students there this year, with about 20 “ticos” (Costa Rican students).  It was a great time and was a lot of fun since we brought Isaac and Audrey along!  This was a big confidence builder for us doing snow camping with the kids….although the high school students make it easy as they love entertaining our kids

Isaac went rock climbing for his first time ever….and loved it…..we had to fight him to get him off the wall!  Looks like we have a new hobby

So….we basically have the cutest kids ever!!  Karen’s been busy with the camera….enjoy the results.

We went up to the snow with the Schnieders today…had a great time sledding, and riding their quad. Isaac also got to build his first snowman. I think we’ll be back soon

Isaac went to the neighbor’s birthday party today…and got to try roller skates!  Sure was fun!

Here are some fun pictures of the kids playing around…. lots more in the gallery so check them out!

Merry Christmas everyone! We had a great Christmas day, just the four of us. It was kinda weird at first, but was nice.
