Usually we have stayed where the bus drivers have rooms. This year the three of us were given our own cabin. It was a relief knowing if D. cried or if they woke up at 6am, we wouldnt disturb anyone! We brought the packNplay for D- and A. had fun sleeping in the top bunk!!
A. was able to go tubing with Daddy twice and once in a train with Mommy.
D. really thought he was going to go down the big hill too... this hill is TOO big and too fast!
Our last night the kids and I hung out in the canteen in our pjs while Daddy waited for some of the big kids to arrive from the scavenger hunt.
The first time A. and I went to Silver Birch she was 2.5. Then we went when she was 3.5. Last winter D. was too young. I was nervous that I was in over my head bringing them. Obviously these weekend retreats are very intense and a lot of work for Andy. He has many adult chaperones but he is still the one everyone goes to with questions. Again this year Andy had a praise band (4 college kids and an adult). They had 3 worship sessions with messages, games, and singing. The kids and I were able to go to some of them- but their bedtime can only be stretched so far. I was super proud of our kids (5.5 and 20 months). We napped during free time, spent time reading books and playing chutes and ladders. It was a great weekend filled with many hugs with Daddy and time to hang out with the big kids. D. thought riding a school bus for 3 hours each way was awesome! He loved not having a seatbelt! Its great spending time together and seeing the product of all the hours of work Andy puts into his job and these retreats.
