We went skiing with the youth this past weekend and had SO much fun!
Everyone was so easy to get along with and went with the flow and we packed a lot of fun activities into a few days.
On the way to the mountains on Thursday night, the girls were rapping to LeCrae and Richard turned his hat around backwards - it was so funny!
We made it to Cragmont around 10:00 pm. Selfie of the girls by the fireplace!
Playing spoons and Catch Phrase while we waited for the others to arrive
Friday
We got up early and headed to Wolf Ridge to ski
Some of the group suited up and ready to go!
Anyone recognize who is on the end? (Mr. Gregg)
Me and Kelly
Headed to the top with Mr. Gregg and Audrey
Some of the girls took a lesson in Ski School - this was them learning while we were on the chair lift
View from the top was so beautiful but it was cold!
It was windy and about 15 degrees with the wind chill.
Me and Audrey at the top
After ski school we took the girls halfway to the top
Anna went off the side of the mountain - Corey helped her get back up!

More skiing after lunch
Warming up by the fire before we left
We ate at Cheddars in Asheville on the way back to Cragmont on Friday night
Saturday
We got up early and hiked the mountain behind Cragmont
Some of the girls on the trail
Corey and Jenna led the group most of the way up
It was a steep climb so we stop and rested - part of the mountain was straight rock climbing. It wasn't the leisurely hike I thought it would be.

The group at the top - the view was disappointing!
After we got showers, we ate buffet lunch at Pizza Hut and walked to tour around Montreat.

We headed to Hendersonville to shop and look around in their downtown area
With the walking sticks, Corey used one hiking and the girls were picking on him
We got ice cream and bottled drinks
Love these girls - with our bottled Cheerwine and Root Beer
Then we headed to Moonshine Mountain for some tubing
With our tubes before heading to the top
On the way up - Audrey and Kelly were up ahead of me
Corey with some of the girls - you could hook up to six at a time
Josh, Emily, Corey and Jenna ready to go down

It was so much fun - so much better than we thought it would be.
See the hills behind us?

The group (minus Corey who was taking the picture)
It was so fun to stay at Cragmont and tour around and see how it has changed since we were in youth group.

We missed Crawford!

We had so much fun but missed these two and were glad to be home with them.
Enjoying some treats we brought them back from the bakery in Hendersonville.
