Our Day at the Hill

We (along with Kiley and Jessica) joined our friends Graham and Chelsea and their church group for a couples retreat last weekend at Elk Ridge resort in norther Saskatchewan.
We had an amazing time! One (just one!) of the highlights was tearing down the massive sledding hill just beside the golf course.
The resort supplied inner tubes - and - as you can see - the group supplied the creativity in use. Some pictures of our day:

Only one of the many pile-up ways to go down the hill. That is Jessica on the top of the pile.

Kurt is the blue toque in the middle. Graham is the guy in the gray coat (with no toque) looking at me.

There he is! :)

The end result - the tube kept going and they all bounced off. Very funny to watch from the top of the hill. :)

Kiley, Kurt, and Jessica heading back up the hill. They were really far away - our camera has amazing zoom!

Ahhh... young and in love in a winter wonderland. As you can tell, it was pretty warm out that day (no mitts, no toque).

Proving my love for Kurt... (I wasn't even wearing ski pants!) ;)

Kurt coming back up the hill after one of the "group" episodes.
Yes - they were all on the tube.


The love of my life about to hurtle down the hill...

There he goes...

And up the hill - AGAIN.

True perspective on how big the hill really is.
End result: lots of tired people at the bible study after supper. :)
Thanks for inviting us, guys! And to all the couples from Erindale Alliance - we can't wait until next year! :)

It sure was a fun weekend, and very encouraging too I thought! Thanks for getting some pictures up, we didn't take any cause for some reason neither of us are the best at remembering to take the camera out of the bag, or even bring it along. We did have it with us last weekend, but counted on others to share their photos. :-) So Thank You. You and Kurt look so cute, I'm glad you were there and that we could spend some time visiting as well. Have a good weekend, Love Jess
