James and I went on retreat with our church here in Boston. It was the most fun I've had in a long time. A family in our church owns this camp and we were blessed to visit for the weekend. A place of running, exploring, eating together, outdoor activities, and games late into the night. This is the first instalment, more to come!
On the first afternoon we arrived and I was immediately whisked off to a craft show, and after a hike up the mountain behind our camp. Check out the view!
James and I got to stay in our very own little cabin. They are what we call rustic, and we put matresses from the twin bunk beds on the floor with sleeping bags on top. No electricity, and the bathroom is across camp. Yup, even at night.
Bear loves it.
On the second day we hiked to the top of Foss Mountain. Its in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, and what a lovely hike it was. The one on the left proves that James needs a dog.
View from the top!
That same day we were in the lake canoeing and swimming in the afternoon. Look at us go! There were places on the lake where the wind wasn't blowing, and the water reflected the clouds like glass. Our oars rippled through the water almost silently, creating whirlpools as we went along. I was full of joy and so relaxed.
This is our friend Jeena. She's so sweet and loves to share everything with us. We've been getting to know her and her family since moving here, what a joy.
There was so much food. The kitchen was open always and the breakfast menu was about 7 items long. Desert was fantastic, as you can see and to top it off, these people know how to make good, strong coffee.
