Camping

Our church had a retreat for young adults this past weekend up in North Georgia. Some chose to stay in cabins, while others of us braved the great outdoors!

This was the first time Andre and I have ever gone camping together and it was really fun. The weather, however, wasn't ideal for roughing it; we went to sleep each night to thunder, lightening and heavy rain. We slept quite well (on our air mattress) and woke up to a slightly leaky tent roof, and one very noisy rooster! He's a permanent resident of the retreat center but I'm afriad to say we all wanted to kill him by the end of the weekend and secretly hoped that the delicious fried chicken we were served on Saturday night was in fact the offending fowl!

It was a great weekend of spending time with friends, meeting new ones, enjoying the talks and just relaxing (as exhibited in the photo below!)

Games on Saturday night...

Third Lobby (they're great by the way!) did our music and gave us a show on Saturday night...they gave an awesome performance of the new Coldplay song which Andre LOVES, so that was special for him.

Very refreshing and inspiring weekend, but there's no place like home and we're glad to be back (at least now we know our air mattress is pretty comfy for guests!)
