25 Years of Food, Fun and Friends

This past weekend, Louie and I joined in on the 25th year of the Elkin’s retreat at Priest Lake.  My family, as well as around 7 other families have been going up to Elkin’s resort since I was one year old.  It is a grand time of 23 or so people sharing one cabin, eating too much, and playing lots of games.  It was fun to share the experience with Louie, and let him meet all those people who helped raise me!

Here are some photos:

Groupshot Everyone who was up at Elkins this year.  This is actually a small group.  Think of all these people in one cabin.

The reading, knitting, and games are always happening!

Sunday, we all went out for a ski on the lake.  It is rare the the lake is frozen, so it was fun!
