One of the highlights of our trip was stopping at the Atherton family home on our way to Ohio. We met Mr. Atherton and his daughters at the "Father and Daughter" retreat a couple of years ago. Since then, I've corresponded with Victoria and we were really excited for this opportunity for our families to get together. We greatly enjoyed the time of fellowship and it was very nice to be able to meet and visit with the rest of their family as well.

After dinner, we had a fun time playing some games. The Atherton's taught us how to play "Upset the Fruit Basket". We had a great playing the game!!
Next we had a great time playing "Dutch Blitz" (quite similar to "Nertz") with giants size cards!!! We divided up into teams and we each had our own team name as well.
"The Sailing Sisters"
"The Green Mountain Boy"
"Suspense"
"The Quartet"

More playing.
Some of the movie "Pendragon: Sword of His Father" was filmed on their property. It was really neat to see some of the places in person! After the games, we headed out to the horse barn where all of the stable scenes were shot and the kids got to ride on one of the horses.

Then, we got pictures in the horse stalls that Artos and Wenneveria used.
Next, we went to their cellar which was used as the dungeon in "Pendragon".

(Note: The Atherton's have canned rows and rows of fruit, veggies, jam etc. It was so neat to see all of them!)
