Great Escape 2012

After a terrific 3 days at our annual convention in Fergus Falls, we headed out right after Chris finished leading the final service with HB London. A 25-hour straight through drive doesn’t seem nearly so bad with 3 drivers!
We arrived home about 8pm Sunday, unpacked the van, did 3 loads of laundry, showered, repacked the van and headed out to church by 8am to leave on the Great Escape! Whew!

The trip out on Hwy 12 was gorgeous! And after about 6 hours we arrived at Fox Farm near Leavenworth…

What a terrific week! We enjoyed games (thanks, Zack), swimming at Lake Wenatchee, wandering Leavenworth, eating great meals, quiet time with the Lord each day and powerful lessons from Josh!

The group did such a quick job of packing up that we even had time to hit the Aplets & Cotlets factory in Cashmere on the way home! Yum! My favorite!

I really love the retro boxes!

We ate lunch and then hit the road for home…
