LADIES RETREAT

This weekend was our church's women's retreat at Verdugo Pines Bible Camp. This camp is near Wrightwood and behind Jackson Lake.

We had such a good time. The weather was crisp, cool and clear. There were tons of beautiful pine cones all over. The food at this camp is the best. And the fellowship was terrific.

Here are a few pictures and comments. First of all the theme this year was Approaching God With The Heart Of A Child. So we had a pajama party Friday night, played silly games and some fixed their hair in little pigtails.


Here is a picture of Marcy and Bev. Bev is our pastor's wife. They have their hair done in pig tails and Bev is wearing the theamed T-shirt for the retreat and they are both wearing the theamed fleece jackets. There was lots of pink this weekend!











Here is a picture of my friend Jan (Hi, Jan) after getting her hair done up in little pig tails and her fingernails painted.












This is the camp Jennifer worked at this past summer so she wanted to help them this weekend. Here she is setting the table for dinner but also threatening me with a fork for taking her picture :)












Here is a picture Jan took of me starting to sort out pieces of a picture puzzle on Friday night. I spent some time on this Saturday afternoon and had made some progress, but it never was finished.















One of the projects you can do is make cards of encouragement for your friends who are up there. These boxes contain cards and envelopes and rubber stamps with all kinds of cute designs on them.










This is one of the silly games you could play. The goal was to pick up five pecans with your right foot and put them in the right plate and pick up five with you left foot and put them in the left plate. Whoever accomplished this first, won. I did not do well. My toes kept cramping. Jennifer played and got all her pecans on the proper plates in no time!








Here some of the ladies are relaxing on Saturday afternoon. This area overlooks the volleyball court and pool (closed for the season). The building in the background is the dining hall, and rec room.











The cabins up there are two sided and sleep 8 to a room (bunk beds). There is also a bathroom with a shower and sinks in each room. We were in the room on the left in this picture.











I will finish with a picture of the ice cream sundae I made for myself on Saturday night.

Yum, yum!!!








I hope all these pictures and text line up OK. This drag and drop which Blogger has is a real pain. Takes forever, but on the other hand I am thankful they allow us to do these pictures for free!
