We returned today from the annual Winter retreat in Big Bear. As you can tell from the pictures we experienced quite a bit of snow. We had 15 teens attend the retreat this year! So we rented a larger cabin than last year. Our cabin this year backed up to Big Bear Lake and we had an awesome view from both the front and the back of our cabin. The picture above is out the front door. You can see my car covered in snow by the fence and Roberta's car up above by the street.
Brett, Peter and Caleb checking out the ice in the front yard.
Our cabin was called the 'Hunter's Lakefront Lodge' and you can see why - almost all of the interior decor was some form of dead animal. 
Robera and Laura getting breakfast ready on Saturday morning. As these wonderful women were cooking snow was falling outside. 
The view from the second story looking down onto the lake and the dock. If you look closely, you can see Brett, Peter, and Joey walking out onto the dock. 
It didn't take long for the teens to make their way outside to check out the snow - for we 'flatlanders' this was an awesome sight - the snow was deep and still fluffy and light - it didn't take long for a snowball fight to occur. 
Jon wins the award for best snowball. I wouldn't want to block this with any part of my body. 
Look at the view across the lake - amazing!
Samantha and Lizzy all bundled up.
The dock extending into the lake - Jon working on that snowball... 
Brett, Joey, and Caleb begin the proces of constructing the fort. 
Who snowed us out? Brett McGee - our man of manual labor. Thanks Brett!
This is the front of our cabin.

Uh oh - the snow is coming down pretty heavy now - let's head back to the cabin.

Group devotional time - working on our Bible study of Joshua and what it means to live in the Here & Now.

Thanks to everyone who came and everyone who supported our trip. God bless!
