Clare and I went to 7th Day last weekend - it's the 5th and 6th grade retreat for VA Lutherans. It was a great event! Clare had a terrific 1st youth event. The theme was the Johah story - focusing on God's call to hear, journey, and serve. I've been to other events for older youth and I felt like this was one of the best run with lots of activities for the kids. Check out the pictures:

Hanging out at the cabin. Of course, there wasn't enough time to play at the cabin, according to Clare!!

Eating is always the most important activity at any youth event! The boys and girls "loved" sitting together!

The boys liked to give Mr. Brian a hard time - especially at 3 a.m.!

Large group was fun with all the singing.

Our awesome group - 8 boys, 4 girls, 3 chaperones.
