My dad had a retreat for youth ministry leaders that was at Holden Village this week, and he got to bring mom and Finn along for fun! Holden Village is a retreat center in the middle of the Cascade mountains that you can only get to by boating up Lake Chelan, and then taking a fun bus ride up into the mountain village.
Dad, Mom and Finn, Melinda, Leena, Kirsten, Janet, Jan and Ben. This is the gang!
This here is the boat that I am going to catch that will take me a couple hours up beautiful Lake Chelan! Finn's first boat ride.
Having fun in the dining room with Jan.
Kirsten and I telling stories after dinner.
Snow everywhere! Lots of it. This is how the Frog man gets around with lots of snow on the ground. I actually got to bob sled for the first time today as well, but our camera ran out of batteries, so we will update the bobsledding pictures when we get our hands on them. All I have to say is watch out winter olympics 2010!
We even found time to read books before bedtime.
Here is a good picture to show you how much snow has collected over the winter at Holden.
Smiling with Ben, Melinda and Leena.
This is the bus that we get to ride in. On the way up the mountain, the bus driver had to stop and get out to cut a tree down that had fallen across the road. We all got to help carry the pieces of wood to the side of the road so that the bus could get through. Maybe there will be more fun like that on the way back down. Holden was a lot of fun! Thanks everyone.
