Mother-Daughter Retreat

Last weekend Jordyn and I went to a mother-daughter retreat at Camp Timber-lee. We checked in friday night at 6:30 and came home Sunday afternoon. When we got there, we checked in, went and signed up for our weekend activities and then had a praise and worship time. After that - they had a dessert hour with a yummy chocolate fountain. When the chocolate ran out we went back to our cabin and crawled into the same bunk and went to sleep......









This is how we spent our day on Saturday:

mom and daughter photo shoot

made crafts at the leather shop

climbed a rock wall

went to the nature center and played with the turtles and animals

went on an hour horseback riding trail ride

went to Acorns game room

had a sit down harvest meal

went on a pumpkin walk

bonfire

made caramel apples
and finally to bed..again in the same bunk!




Sunday - we went paddle boating and to brunch and then back to Acorns game room to play carpet ball before leaving to go home!

We had such a great weekend together! I loved having so much one on one time together just her and I to talk and laugh and do so much fun stuff together. I love that she still wants to hold my hand when we are just walking and talking. The pumpkin walk had a question for us to answer at each lighted pumpkin and I got to hear her thoughts and feelings about things I wouldn't normally think to ask her. The weekend confirmed what I already know: that I have an amazing, wonderful daughter in every way! She asked me if we can go again next year - I wouldn't miss it for the world!!
