The whole gang went on a hike at the Catalina State Park. Well, to be more accurate, after we corrected the GPS problem we went hiking. The GPS took us to a different Catalina Park, there was a "slight" operator error in choosing the incorrect destination. The pictures do not show any of the ministry children due to regulations in that regard. The adults carried the toddlers on the first leg. Curtis took four of the children, ages 8 to 12, on a total 5.6 mile hike. It was the rockiest trail Curtis had ever been on. The children were amazing hikers. Even the eight year old girl did well, at times having to crawl over the big rocks in the trail, while the older boyes could just step over the rocks. The destination was an amazing waterfall and pools, in the desert! It was beautiful. Later we opened some presents, went with the big family to church, looked at Christmas lights, and ate homemade "Trisha friendly" cheesecake. Curtis helped the children make leather crafts. It was a real challenge moderating the younger children to do time intensive leather detail. We finally got back to the "Respit House" at 11pm, a very full day.
