small group retreat

We love our church for so many reasons.  Our small group we are in is one of them.  A few weekends ago, Daddy & Mommy went with the adults in small group on a weekend retreat in the mountains.  They stayed (rented out the entire place...) at a bed and breakfast in Waynesville, NC, and they had the best time.  Lots of laughs, lots of memories, and time spent praying for one another.

The first day...ladies went to the spa for the day while the guys played a round of golf.  Girls were pampered with pedicures, facials, and massages.  Here are the ladies right outside the spa!
The next day, they got to go an adventure...a sky diving like adventure.  After suiting up and receiving the instructions, each person took a turn "flying" with an instructor.  It was so much fun! 
Here is Daddy & Mommy...all ready to fly!
Some of the guys
Here is Daddy flying...he's is in the middle...& most of us got to go about 20-40 feet in the air.  Such a fun experience!
After an afternoon of relaxing at the B&B, we all got ready for a yummy dinner!
Daddy & Mommy
All the small group gals...
After each standard picture, Mommy would yell out, "Ok, everyone, let's do a squeezy one."  Then, the ladies would all squeeze together...making a much cuter picture.  So, here is the "squeeze" one!
The guys...
....& the guy's interpretation of a "squeezy" picture...hilarious!
That night, we played "Minute to Win It"...guys vs. girls.  It was such a fun night of much laughter!
The next morning, it was time to have breakfast and head out to a nearby park for worship and a devotional before heading home!

Here is Mommy with Mrs. Tracy...
...then Mrs. Lara joined in on the picture fun!

And, then our small group...such a fun weekend...such an awesome group.  We are blessed with such an encouraging, supportive, God seeking group!

The last picture of the retreat reminds me so much of our small group retreat! Looks like the same porch and steps. Looks like you all had a great time. :)
