Yay! I survived the Senior Retreat! In the woods, with no internet and far away bathrooms!
It actually was a really fun time! We did a high ropes course and made s'mores around the bonfire. It was all really really fun!
Unfortunately, due to the retreat and our Pre Cana classes (which we also really enjoyed), I didn't have any time to be crafty this weekend. I am hoping that I am able to be a bit crafty tonight, maybe AJ will want to watch Monday Night Football, so I can work on cleaning up my craft desk so I can get to scrapping on it!
But until then, I do have some pictures of camping in the woods!
Top Row: My bunk. I didn't realize that our sleeping bag was so narrow until I unrolled it when I got there. It was definitely a cozy fit!
Middle Row: All harnessed up for the high ropes course (despite my intense fear of heights!) ~ The stairs to the first level. It had to be about 20 feet off of the ground! ~ Almost immediately after reaching the platform, I came right back down through the repelling rope (that's not me in the picture though, I took this picture from a safe spot on the ground!), but I'm glad I tried it!
Bottom Row: The camp was really pretty ~ The bonfire, the kids (and teachers) all got to make s'mores, yum!
I can't believe how quickly this weekend flew by. As much as I enjoyed the retreat, and the Pre Cana classes, I need some sleep! I wasn't able to sleep in once, or go for a walk with AJ, or even get any cleaning done! I have a feeling this is going to be a crazy week with catching up on weekend chores, and doing all of our Pre Cana homework for next week!
Do you ever have weekends that get so crazy that you need a day off to recover from your weekend?

Absolutely I have weekends like that! I'm glad you survived and it looks like you had fun too! Good for you, facing your fear of heights! You looked so cute and all ready to conquer it!!! Yum, the s'mores have to be the best part of camping in the woods! That, and the pretty scenery!!
Pre Cana homework? Oh my!! You are busy!! Hope you can catch up on some of your craftiness and other things tonight!
I had a weekend like that as well. I worked a trade show in Salt Lake City Friday, Saturday and Sunday and am back at work today...Yikes!!! Sounds like you had a great time at the retreat though. Can't wait for you to get crafting again!
Glad to hear you had a good time, and that you didn't have to sleep on the ground! I agree, your sleeping bag looks tiny! lol waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
Dang, your hair grows FAST!!! Seems like you just cut it :) Love the camping pictures.
Looks like a fun time was had by everyone.
You are so cute :)
I feel like I have to catch up from every weekend during the summer.
So glad you had fun! It looked great. Bet Aj had fun with that crazy game!
