Riverbend

Last weekend all 3 of us went to Riverbend Retreat Center in Glen Rose, TX (about 1 hr south of ft worth) to speak at the winter retreat for our church's high schoolers. There was some concern about bringing seth but we decided to give it a whirl. Well I forgot to pack diapers and the bed rail for seth...but luckily we found a nearby grocery store and put some pillows under the fitted sheet and used that as his bed rail which worked just fine. (Seth has been doing great in his toddler bed by the way). Spencer and I shared a room and Seth had his own room with a bathroom connecting both of our rooms, it was a perfect set up. Seth loved for us to put him on the top bunk to play, he felt so big! It was a really pretty weekend outside weather wise, so that's where Seth and I would be while Spencer talked to the students during their sessions. Riverbend is pretty special to me, because its where I went to GA camp with my church growing up, so lots of great memories there, so it was really special to get to bring Seth! He loved being outside and playing in the little pond and throwing rocks and sticks in. He also loved playing on the playground the model boat they had built...needless to say Seth was in heaven! There was a band that would play worship music before each session and that was by far Seth's favorite thing! he would move his arms and clap and afterwords he would want to go and touch the drums! It was a tiring but fun weekend!! Enjoy the video at the end of Seth and Spencer playing! (just click on the link) Seth playing on the top bunk in his room

This is one of his favorite outdoor spots-the pond


his arms are blurry because he's waving them to the music!
