Ladie's Retreat

Our annual Ladie's Retreat was this past weekend. It was the best one yet!! We met up Friday morning and had free time talking and relaxing. For lunch we had taco's (my favorite!). Then it was game time. We played a few name/getting to know you games then the BIG game. Sherri, of course, planned it out. She is brilliant at games. We were in teams. I was on team BB....which was awesome! (Tina, Cathy, Megan and Brandy). We had to make a breastplate of righteousness out of styrofoam bowels and belts and socks. We had to sing a song with movements. We had to separate eggs, build towers with plastic cups, play Yahtzee and knit. Then to the physical part, which involved basketball, hula hoops, cheerleading, an obstacle course, a water slide, cartwheels and paddle boating. My arms, legs and stomach muscles are so sore today!! I haven't done that much physical activity in a long time. I did do 20 cartwheels though!!! I was so dizzy and out of breath I could barely walk but it was so worth it! Then dinner, which the men made and served for us. We had ribs and loaded baked potatoes. Then our evening service, which was wonderful....Stacey spoke. Then more talking and eating and a few more games. I was actually going to bed around 2:30 when I passed the room of Trin, Ashley, Dana, Kristy, Sharli and Ginny and stayed up talking until 4. The next day I stayed for breakfast and Sherri's devotion and then I went to our family reunion, which was great too.. I had a great time getting to know some people a little better and re-fueling my friendships with my old pals. Can't wait for next year. Thanks so much to Stacey, Sonya, Susan , Sherri and Tina for all the decorating. Thanks to Stacey for all your hard work and planning and to Sherri for your awesome games!!
