Ascension Retreat

Tonight we got back from our 4 days (Ascension holiday in France) at the French church camp in Ardeche, the department southwest of Lyon. It was nice to see people that we already knew from other events and to meet others as well. The retreat was pretty laid back with a lot of free time in the afternoons. So the first afternoon we went on a short hike up a "suc" (the name for the mountainous rock formations in the region) near the camp.
We were planning on going for a longer hike on the second day, but when we woke up, it had snowed 12 inches over night! Even the locals were surprised to get so much snow in May!
We ended up helping out in the kitchen on Friday... Doug especially liked slicing the huge bread.
Here are our other pictures from the weekend:

Our next trip is in about 2 and a half weeks when we go to Barcelona with Anna Rose and Jessi!
