Pine Cove: Fall 2012

The weekend before we moved, Matt had the awesome opportunity to go back to speak at a Pine Cove retreat. And, thePoeFam had the awesome privilege of getting to tag along. I almost didn’t go…there was so much to do to get us ready to move and so little time to do it. But, the second I stepped out of the Swaggon onto Pine Cove soil, I thank Jesus that I changed my mind. There's something about being there that renews and refreshes me in a way that only Jesus can! I love it so!

The best part…it was chilly!!! And, the boys and I had a blast tagging along to all of the fun stuff. Here they get to be such BOYS…exploring and digging and dancing and running! It’s so fun to watch!

 

 
The theme of the weekend was “Alien” and Matt did an amazing job bringing the Word each time he spoke. We are so proud of him and what he does. These crazy aliens provided LOTS of entertainment for my two little crazies!


This little guy was one of our favorite discoveries. He CRACKED us up with his crazy personality and played and played with the boys! We loved him!
   
And, this little guy was our LEAST favorite Pine Cove discovery. UGHHHHH! He crawled up the drain while Q was watching his hands. I have to admit that I didn’t believe him when he said a scorpion was in the sink! Next time, I won’t second guess! Mercy!!!


 


The sweetest memory for the 4 of us was getting to go fishing. They provided poles and worms and we had a BLAST! We ended up catching 9 fish…and, the boys thought it was great! I even caught a little guy!!! Gotta love bein’ a boy momma!
   



   



 
And, Quinn’s new “grown up friend” was a hilarious character each day named Hyper Timmy! Q was FOR SURE his biggest fan! Hilarious stuff!
 
It was an awesome weekend…where time seems to go a little slower and the Spirit seems to speak a little louder! I loved it and so look forward to the next time we get to visit.
