We went on a Sherman Family Retreat in late July. We went to Pinetop, AZ. We did lots of fun stuff together, but mostly just hung out. We went on a hike and found this field of flowers. Something you can't see in the background was a very tall, dead tree the "boys" (our husbands) tried to push over.....it didn't work....but it was sure funny to watch. They eventually found a dead baby tree that they could push over...what big tough guys they are.
There was a day when the guys went fishing and us women and children stayed behind. Nona brought all the stuff to teach us to make jelly. She brought grapes from her garden and we taught Jennifer and Catlyn to make jelly/jam.
While we were making jelly, the guys went fishing. They rented boats and stayed out all day....without sunscreen. I have never heard so much whinning in my life. They burnt the tops of their knees and their arms and feet. What big babies!!! The only one justified was Jason because his ended up blistering.
It was really great to get away for the weekend and spend time together. Each of us had our own apartment. Grayson and Colby took turns sleeping next door with Grandma Nona.
There was always a kid under our feet. The first retreat we had, there was no kids...this time there was 11 kids...and we were missing 2. Next year we will add atleast one more, hopefully two. We laughed about how retreats will be when we have teenagers....and thats not to far away.
