Youth Fall Retreat... Wise, Virginia

The weekend before Halloween I went on a retreat with the Youth from AMRBC.... We had a nice chartered bus to travel to Wise Virginia....

The leaves were beautiful in the mountains...
We stopped at the rest area for drinks/snacks and potty break :)
Bucky had it all set-up when we got there...Beautiful Feet was the theme...

They made it to the top....


They made it to the first stop....
Sydney was scared to death...but she did awesome!!
Zack said this part was the hardest...you had to have a lot of upper body strength..


It was pretty high up....I don't think they expected it to be so high and take as long as it did...It was hard :)

Nathan was waiting to catch Haley when she got back on the ground :)
They were up there over an hour...
Haley "caught" Zack....

Andrew made it look easy :)
