Retreat

Jeff and I took some Chinese friends out of Beijing for the weekend to Shidu about 2 1/2 hours away. 

We rented a bus to haul everybody.  Our first bus broke down on the highway, but as we waited at a gas station, we played Frisbee and soccer.

There were 15 in our group

Bull Frog-Jeff and I called it Bull Frog Fajitas

Fire Lanterns!!!  Our first time to see them!

We went rafting with bamboo poles-turned into a water fight!

We ended the weekend with grilling chuar (lamb kabobs), steak and chicken kabobs with veggies.  

I was having so much fun, I forgot to take pictures.  These are the few that I took of the weekend.  We had some great conversations with our friends and came back a closer group of people!
