A Wonderful Week in Colorado


 This past week Mom and I got to spend a week in Breckenridge, Colorado at a TeenPact event called Endeavor. Some of the things we got to do during the event were: learn how to set a table properly, go to the shooting range, learn basic car-care skills, learn how to write a good thank-you note,  climbed rock walls, learned new cooking techniques, and went on a hike.
We had a wonderful week full of adventures, old (and new) friends, and growing closer to the Lord. I know that I was truly blessed to be there!! 

Part of the adventure of the week was learning to shoot a hand gun...Mom was a much better shot than I was. But we both had fun! 


Endeavor is a very well rounded event, so we also got to dress up for a tea and a formal dinner during the week. Here I am with the girls that were in my room right before the tea! Super sweet girls! Loved getting to know them!


We also got to play Extreme Twister...which is the game of Twister except with red, blue, yellow, and green jello instead of a nice, clean, not-made-with-sugar tarp. ;-) However, the game quickly turned into an all out jello fight. :D As sticky and weird as it was, it was Super fun!! I loved playing! 


Luke 12:27
"Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these."


I loved having a week all to myself with my Mama! It was wonderful to grow closer to her!


Here I am with some more dear friends! This time we're all dressed up for the formal dinner!


On Saturday we got to go explore the town and surrounding national forrest for a few hours before we went to the airport. So much fun!


Mom and I flew home with a few other girls (the girl on the far left and the girl on the right), but we drove to the airport with some old friends from Texas (the girl in the middle. :-). 



Psalms 19:1-4
The heavens declare the glory of God;
   the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
   night after night they reveal knowledge.
They have no speech, they use no words;
   no sound is heard from them.
Yet their voice
 goes out into all the earth,    their words to the ends of the world. 



The two wonderful moms that gave a week of their time to spend with us! 
Thanks Mom and Mrs. R!!!! :D


More later!! ~Sarah
