Pine Hollow Growth Group trip

We meet weekly with an amazing group of young parents to grow in our relationships with the Lord, our spouses and our children. We always TRY to get away one time in the summer together but with 8 (I think) couples and 16 kids you can imagine how easy it is!  This trip was to Pine Hollow, which, although its only an hour and fifteen mins away is ALOT of work to get to :).  Here are some special memories from our week!


Breakfast, not that organized but super fun!

The Hams :)


Goofy Girl

The first night neither girl slept much and after Anna was up most of the night Katey woke up @ 5:45 am
 and in a small little single wide that doesn't leave much room for noise.  So Daddy (who had slept the entire night outside on a tarp to hourly check the bbq) I, and the girls decided to go fishing!





We really didn't last that long but it was a good try and we stayed out of the house long enough for the others too wake up semi-naturally.  Then later that day we had the opportunity to go to Greg & Jenn Eisenzimmer's parents place and enjoy their AMAZING deck overlooking the lake with a personal deck that we thoroughly enjoyed!

After an amazing day in the sun we headed back to Jer's parents place for dinner!











No girls of his own so he has to borrow a few :)






Love this group!
