We started out with all the pizza you could eat at Paradise pizza.
Then we went back to the Blue Belle Inn and got into our comfy clothes for a rousing game of "Go with the Flo". Players tried to make their teams guess words by either drawing, drawing blindfolded, using "human clay", describing the words with a mouth full of marshmallows or acting it out... depending on the numbered feminine product they pulled out of the purse.
After one too many entries of the word "sad" we stopped and had cheesecake and other snacks. Bed around midnight depending upon which room you were in.
The morning was brunch. We shamefully avoided the only other couple staying in the bed and breakfast because you can't keep 20 moms quiet at 11pm when they're free from all responsibilities (and some of the words we had to act out didn't help either). But they came over and asked if they could speak to the group. They both spoke for a few minutes... encouraging the group to cherish the times that our children our little and telling their story of God's faithfulness. There were tears. The Lord had used them to speak to our hearts and to tell us a few things that He needed us to know. God showed up in a big way and provided the most powerful time of the whole retreat in a completely unplanned "coincidence".
After eyes were dried we did a tour of the shops. Some painted pottery. And then we went home to cuddle our kids.
