The last several days have been spent with the Baumgartner family. They have been such gracious hosts and our time with them has been filled with lots of fun memories! I'm banking on the saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words." and will let the following ones do the talking for this update :D But keep in mind that they only give you a small peek into our lives; the full story will probably only ever be known to those who live it.

| Lewis tutoring Trevor. (Lewis and Julie helped him and his twin, Travis, several times) |
 |
| Dad, the handyman, did some maintenance and misc. things around the place. |
 |
| One day, we took a picnic to Blue Creek, then hiked back to the mouth of a large cave. |
 |
| The boys loved jumping off this platform into the deep water of Blue Creek. |
 |
| There were some cool 'treehouses' with rope ladders way up in the tops of some of the trees by the creek. |
 |
| Vivian, Julie, and Rosanna |
 |
| The rope swing became a fast favorite! |
 |
| Hiking back to the cave. |

 |
| Trevor, Billy, and Mom carving the chicken! |
 |

 |
| Lewis 'guarding' the pies ;) |
 |
| We had quite the feast that night! |

 |
| Julie, Lewis, and I were invited to teach a few songs to the local worship team. |
 |
| This morning (Friday Nov. 29) we were also invited to lead a short devotional at TCA. This was my group. |
 |
| This was Julie's group. She specifically wanted the little kids! |
 |
| Bontragers and Baumgartners |
These pictures are very informative:):) Thanks for sharing:)
ReplyDeleteBTW: what's that bag-like thing hanging from the rocks above the mouth of the cave?
Gina, I think that was the hornets' nest :D it was made with mud.
