Family Retreat

I am in Buda, Texas at a family retreat put on by the Brothers of St. John (based in Laredo).

The little ones are in bed in the RV and the older girls are with the teens I'm front of a raging campfire. (picture coming).

We are with about 200 other Catholics (so I am not sure how many families, it could be as few as 20.

This far it has been a great retreat, we started with The Way of the Cross and are now roasting marshmallows.

Lights out at 11pm.

We have begun a new tradition of "winter caming" also in the Adirondacks-a bit more rustic-no running water, outhouses, etc.

Peace,
