Family Retreat

Our church had a family retreat this past weekend at Aldergate. It was a good weekend overall. We got there Friday night and settled in to our cabin with our friends. Janna fell out of bed twice and coughed for awhile in the middle of the night but we did get some sleep. Saturday we had breakfast at the lodge with everyone. The we had game and dance time. Janna was really cute dancing, Simon even moved a little bit too. Then Isaac spoke for awhile, it didn't go as we thought. All the kids stayed and it was loud and distracting for him. We are just hoping that someone got something out of it. Then we had lunch. After lunch the kids and I took a nap and Isaac took a short one. Then we went out exploring. Janna and Simon loved the goats and chickens. We went to Banana Island and threw rocks. The kids had fun. Next we had dinner and then a campfire. Isaac did a very good devotion at the campfire. The kids loved the smores or at least the chocolate part. Then it was back to the cabin for bed. The adults stayed up and played games and chatted. Janna only fell out of bed once. Sunday morning I got the worse migraine of my life. I threw up four time and the whole day is a big blur. I do know that my awesome husband pack and unpacked all our stuff. Our friends helped with the kids. Once home and the migraine meds kicked in I was able to enjoy dinner with the family.
Overall it was a good weekend and we had fun with friends.
