Family Retreat

Our church had a family retreat.  It was a great time to fellowship and the video series we watched was pretty much in line with a lot of other things I have been reading/studying lately which was cool!

Lilly was super excited that she was going to get to sleep on the top of a bunk bed.  Mommy was a little nervous about how she would do.  First night, she slept great, but I did not because I was worried about her waking up others or falling off of the bed.

 Second night, Lilly woke up because of  a scary dream and wanted to sleep in the bed with me.  I don't normally let her do that, but since we were in a strange place and I didn't want her waking up the whole room of ladies, I allowed it.  Wasn't that fun, sharing a twin bed with a 5 year old. haha

Another part of the retreat that was super exciting for Lilly was getting to play with friends - on the bunk beds, on the playground, wherever!  She enjoyed being around so many people all weekend long (another reason that I believe she would love to have siblings).

My favorite part of the weekend was on Saturday afternoon when Lilly and I grabbed a little snack and took a walk to the water's edge. It was such a beautiful day and we were able to enjoy God's creation and have a wonderful peaceful moment.
