Winter Break

Rehoboth had a five day Winter Break this year, which corresponded with Valentine's Day and President's Day weekend (and thus the high school youth group ski trip in Pagosa Springs, CO).

The ski trip was from Saturday to Monday, so we decided to celebrate Valentine's Day a little early with lunch out at Panda Express and a special Valentine's pizza dinner at home.  Jonathan surprised me with some beautiful flowers!  We had a nice, quiet celebration (the calm before the ski trip storm!)  :)


My Valentines!  <3


The next day, we loaded up twenty-eight people into five cars and drove four hours north to Pagosa Springs.  We had an awesome group of high school students!  Here they are all lined up:


The trip included playing at the Rec Center, group devotionals and activities, meals, and (of course) skiing!






Benji and I did not ski, so we spent that morning at the indoor pool.  What a treat!


The trip was certainly stressful (trying to focus on the teenagers without losing the toddler, several chaperones having to cancel last-minute, cooking meals for thirty people, and one snowboarding accident that led to a fractured wrist...)  Thankfully, we all made it home in one piece and I think the kids had fun--and grew together as a group--so I guess we will call it a successful weekend.  :)

I think Lena was Benji's Valentine
