Staff Retreat

The day after we got back from Beijing we had a three day staff retreat. Since I am not at the school a lot, it was a great opportunity for me to spend time with staff I don't see often. We visited several different types of religious sites around  Chengdu. It was a great experience!

 This picture makes me laugh, because it describes my life perfectly. Chasing after Brynn! Matt took it from the second story of an Islamic Mosque in Chengdu.

The reason for this face is the next picture.

The second day of the retreat we rode the train to Mt. Qingcheng. You may remember a previous post were we visited the mountain during a torrential downpour. Thankfully we had great weather this time. Nobody told us how hard it is to hike this mountain, which consists of steps that go straight up. We made it about half way up and enjoyed lunch. Brynn slept on Matt's back most of the way up. She did wake up in time to enjoy the much easier walk down.
