Fall Break: Broken Bow

Fall break was extra long this year.  Due to the completion of the new rhetoric school building coming after the start of the school year, they needed extra time to move classrooms around.  With Rhetoric moving to their new building, Caden is moving from the Logic deck to the Logic Building, which is the old Rhetoric building.  The 4th and 5th grade classes will move to the old Logic deck during Christmas break after they do some repair and renovations to that area.  

With Bear being too young to board, we were somewhat limited on where we could go.  We decided to rent a house in Broken Bow, OK with a few friends.  Annabelle and Hadley Tilger in our hot tub.

The kids enjoyed the fire pit and s'mores each night.  Hadley, Caden, Garrett, Angie Buja, and Henry Buja.

We headed to go hiking the next morning.  A Jolly pic in front of the Totum pole.

We came across this funny shaped tree.

Later in the day, Angie and Laura took the kids kayaking.  Annabelle and Laura were the last to push off, and everyone else headed off without us (much to Annabelle's dismay).

A quick selfie right after we got in the water.

Annabelle was super upset that everyone else left us in their dust.  And she was super mad that I wanted to take a picture.  Fun times!

We worked through our disappointment and really enjoyed the trip.  There were trees growing in the water.

There ended up being 13 Covenant families staying in the same neighborhood.  A pic of the kids playing touch football.

The next day we did another hike.  I went with the girls and some younger kids.  Left to right: Hadley, Sam Jeffries, Knox, Tripp, Bauer Farrell, Dorothy Grace Rector, Lee Robertson, Claire Robertson, James Lang, James Robertson, Beckham Farrell, Bowen Jeffries, and Annabelle.

This hike was better than the trail we did the day before.  It went down along the river, and it was beautiful!

Angie went to another area with the big boys.  Harrison Lang, Bass Lang, Garrett, Clive Rowland, Caden, Henry, Levi Webb, and Jax.

Later that afternoon, Angie wanted to have all the 6th graders over to our cabin for some games.  Starting with a boys against girls water balloon fight.
