Church retreat


We all liked different things best. For Tristan it was playing Pokémon with his friends. 

For Winston it was running, jumping and playing with his friends. 
There were hillside gardens and old hermitages everywhere you looked. 
We were east of town where we haven't been before. Red poppies and golden wheat were glowing brightly on a perfect day. 
Troy sat out on this patio with a Spanish friend who is a medical journalist. 
This spiky purple flower
Turns into this scary looking seedpod. 
We hoped to swim in the lake, but it wasn't accessible. Wyatt was the most disappointed. I wasn't so much because it was too cool to get wet. 

We went on past the lake to play a pirate game that involved treasure maps and water balloons.
Wyatt is the master treasure finder, so of course this was his favorite part of the trip. 
The European soccer finals were the same night. Despite the fact that it was a really good game, these puppies were tuckered out. We were rooting for the underdogs, Atlético Madrid. But Real Madrid is the rich team with a seemingly limitless budget, and they won in the end. So it was two Madrid teams in the European final.
