Colporteur Retreat is a lot of fun, but it's also a LOT of work! Kristina worked HARD in the kitchen getting all the food made for the weekend!
|
|
 |
 |
For our retreat, we went to Niagra Falls and rode "The Maid of the Mist" ferry boat right to the foot of the falls!
|
|
|
 |
 |
Rochester Leaders: Kristina, Paul, David, Robert, and Tralina
|
Kristina with some of her faithful student helpers
|
On the ferry boat, all decked in ponchos and ready for the ride!
|
 |
 |
 |
Talk about getting drenched! It was a real rainshower down there!
|
 |
 |
|
Next we climbed up the steps right next to the American side of the falls. David and Luke faithfully helped Kristina up and down ALL those stairs! Then a group picture on a slippery rock and to a picnic site for lunch!

|
David got a CA! After Niagra Falls we drove to a church and set up camp in their beautiful woods.

Getting ready for Breakfast
|
Morning worship together outdoors
|
Girl time! (with Cuddles)
|
 |
 |
 |
Fun times with friends... and even a CA demonstration to Andrew's brother, Daniel, who came to visit during the retreat!
|
 |
 |
|
For Sabbath we had a nature Sabbath together at the pastor's home. His big backyard provided lots of nature objects to find lessons from (and even write poems about!)
|
Music was fun too, since others had brought their instruments
|
 |
 |
|
Don't blow too hard, Esther!
|
Retreat ended, and everyone escaped, leaving Paul, Robert, Kristina, Toni, and Elisabeth to clean up the whole mess and pack everything up!
|
Back at the Review and Herald to return the vans and books, settle accounts, and say our last goodbyes... It was truly a wonderful summer!!
