Men's retreat, August 2005

Men's retreat, October 2005
Chris, Daniel, Ryan, Wayne and myself took a road trip to Lake Buchanan to get away, enjoy some watersports, enjoy the outdoors, get to know each other better, get more time with the Lord and be challenged to be men of faith. Here's some of the pictures...Ryan's compiling the video.

Ready for action



Awesome hair and leg action



falling in







He's happy!



Dive! Dive! (Daniel just went thru the bottom of it on a bump!)



Wayne has this sucking sensation on his posterior end. Notice the busted handles.







It's over! The tube is gone too.



So, we tried it without the tube.





Daniel's almost up!




Or not. by now his hands are screaming


Ryan working on getting up with the wakeboard. It took each of us a while to get the feel for it, except for Chris, who is pretty much an expert, and Wayne, whose forearms gave out.



Look at that face of determination!

beautiful sunsets







we got bored and couldn't sleep, so we walked around for a while and took pictures...





We had breakfast, then church. We talked about the challenge to be spiritual mighty men.

cloudy afternoon. Too sore to play in the water.
