Men & Boys retreat photos
I get around to getting pictures up online eventually. Lots going on this week. Anyway, here are some pictures from New Melones Lake in Sonora this weekend.
We had a great time! So many RVs and tents. So many speedboats and SUVs. You couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting an SUV. Then, everyone broke out their various boat toys. There was the Molecule, a banana boat and a saucer.
I rode the saucer, but nobody got a picture of me. Joey on the other hand refused to give up when he got flipped over! The former Marine would just hang on hoping that the thing would flip over again. It was great. There's always room for me to take a picture of my feet, so I did so.
Hmm, the picture above shows three kids on the saucer, but the next picture only shows two. I wonder if we went back for the straggler.
Pastor had the banana boat and took everyone who would dare on the ride of their life.
Lastly, it was a blessing being around men and talking about men things. I'm thankful for being able to solidify some relationships I'd made since joining this church, and I'm thankful for the new friendships I've made. The preaching was awsome and confirmed my faith even further.
My next camping trip is Whispering Pines (for some value of 'camping'). Then, Yosemite. Then I think I'll be hanging up my vacation gear until October! I hope Europe is ready for me!
Note on W.P.. It's going to be a different sort of year this year. Pray for strength.
