99 Balloons Retreat...

The 1st annual 99 Balloons retreat was this past Friday and Saturday. The location...the middle of no where! It was about 30 minutes from Marshall, AR, but I seriously have no idea what town we were in...

After a lot of dirt roads, we made it to our destination and were greeted by Matt, Ginny, and Becky. We weren't sure what to expect next...other than we needed 4WD to make it the rest of the way!


The view on the way down!



Ginny's family was very generous and let us use their cabin for the weekend retreat. It was so relaxing and peaceful! We had no cell phone service and didn't turn on the TV the whole time...it was actually really nice to be disconnected from technology...at least for a short period.

The cabin was right on Big Creek with awesome views!
We spent a majority of the weekend exploring the outdoors on 4 wheelers. I was just a passenger the first day, but by Saturday I was ready to take over at the wheel! And I absolutely loved it! So...Josh became the passenger for the rest of the day.

Roasting s'mores by the camp fire...



Ross and Josh heading out on an adventure without the girls...

This was one of my favorite spots....hammocks and swings on a screened in porch, it doesn't get much more relaxing than that

my new favorite thing...

Josh taught me how to skip rocks on Saturday afternoon. I probably wasn't the best student, but managed to improve a little....I don't think I could have been much worse! Ha! Josh was definitely a lot better at it than me...his would go forever and my best was just 3 skips.
