Our church participates with a consortium of other churches in the DC area to take turns using a really beautiful retreat site near Harper's Ferry. This past weekend our Friends and Families group got a turn to go and had a blast just hanging out, doing a community service mulching project and relaxing in a way that does not seem possible in the big city. We had something like 14 kids and 12 adults and I know our boys are already looking forward to our next trip. Without further ado, a pic or two... (or more)

| After grinding up branches in a wood-chipper it was time to load up the wagon. |
 |
| This hard working gang got to ride with the mulch to the garden. Nice mask to protect against gnats don't you think? ;-) |
 |
| Then it was time to load up the wheel-barrels with mulch and get back to work. |
 |
| Benji honed his supervisory skills. |
 |
| The kids did their own version of London Bridges. Or something like that. |
 |
| Our friend Catherine kept the kids engaged in a game for hours. We love her. |
 |
| And in honor of Earth Day the kids had fun making the world out of clay and other fun crafts. Overall a great weekend! |
