Trip to the Morton Family Retreat!

We just got back from the Morton family retreat!
We left Friday and were incredibly blessed to have such wonderful accommodations and excellent host/hostesses!
Morton family, you were such a blessing!
They gave us a huge room with
FOUR BEDS! That was a HUGE blessing!
AND there was a little bassinet for Violet even!
Wasn't that sweet?
They definitely have the gift of hospitality!

Okay...now Saturday's pics:

Momma and Violet

The barn that the Mortons built and turned into a fellowship hall/apartments/partial kitchen...
It was SO cool!

Alyssa

Elise O. and her little brother Boaz

Now for Sunday's pics:

We made breakfast that morning!

Isn't it obvious who this is????
(Violet to those of you who are oblivious to the fact that she is in every other picture on this blog.;)


James and Frankie comin' down the road!

Providence and Kathleen O.

Melody was taking pictures from the stairs in the barn!




Nick C.

The R. family's dog, Pepper, being mischievous
hee hee!

Boaz!

Isn't this a pretty pic of Alyssa?

Frankie

Elise and Violet

See Violet's hat?
Momma realized probably about two hours from home that she had forgotten to bring one for Violet! So Alyssa whipped one up right before we arrived at the Morton's house!

(For those of you who do not know, Alyssa started crocheting like a month ago! Let's give her a hand for her fast learning and excellence! :) )

Thanks, Alyssa!

I'm pretty bummed that we didn't get to go but we are definitely planning on next time. I'm sure Kelsey is going to be blogging about her and Brad's trip sometime today so look for that. I want to kiss that Boaz's face!!
Nice teeth Amy! LOL.
Big hugs to you all.
