Lads to Leaders Convention at Opryland Hotel

The Bensons spent this past weekend at the Opryland Hotel for Lads to Leaders. As I explained below, this was our first year to attend the L2L Convention. We had heard that it is a lot of walking and rushing from one place to another so we decided to leave Josie with my mom and dad. The rest of us had a fun time haging out at the Opryland Hotel. You will see from the pictures that the girls had lots of fun. Anna Grace did fantastic on her Bible Reading and Puppets. We also got to see a couple of my cousins and hang out with church friends while we were there. Overall, we had a fantastic first trip to Lads to Leaders!

When we first got in the room, the girls had to explore and check everything out. They discovered this one cup coffee maker and thought it was "so cooool!" She is so silly...
