Last weekend, Princess and I started what I think will likely become a new tradition for our family. We attended a Mother/Daughter Retreat at T Bar M camp, a non-denominational Christian camp in New Braunfels, TX. We were able to convince one of Princess's good friends and her mom to come along with us. And I am so thankful! We moms were completely exhausted by the end of the weekend!
Friday evening to Sunday morning was filled with activity! The organized activities included a crazy game of paint wars, giant bingo and other giant games, a late night viewing of "Tangled", and three Bible study sessions in which we studied Isaiah 40 and learned that God is greater than any of our problems. During free time on Saturday afternoon, we swam, painted nails, made jewelry, played volleyball, and shuffleboard, shopped at the camp store, and Sarah did the "flying squirrel" element of the ropes course.
It rained off and on during the entire free-time, but they had several activities indoors so the girls still had a great time. If you were to ask Princess how the weekend was, she would say, "It was awesome! I wish I lived there!"
My hope for the weekend was that we would have a great bonding experience that we would remember for a very long time. We certainly did that and a whole lot more!
