This weekend was super special for both kids . . . they were able to attend our church's Survivor retreat!! It's an event just for 8th graders, to prepare them for the transition into high school. When Savannah was in 8th grade they didn't have the same experience due to Covid, so when she was asked to attend as one of the senior leaders she was thrilled!!
They competed as different tribes throughout the weekend in various challenges and also had small group sessions, along with worship and teaching. Preston was thrilled that his tribe ended up winning by a lot! Here is a photo dump from the weekend ;)
On Saturday night parents were invited to attend for a few challenges, worship, and a special torch ceremony. It was awesome to be there with both kiddos.
This may be the very spot where Savnnah was eaten (almost alive) by red ants. UGH! She had at least 20 bites on her stomach and legs when she got home, despite wearing tall rain boots.
It was a fabulous weekend for both kids and us too. They arrived home at lunch today, super tired and ready for a hot shower. So thankful for the opportunities provided by our church to intentionally invest in and train our children. :)
