what a great weekend at the Jersey Shore! Friday thru Sunday afternoon myself and 9 girlfriends headed for a *retreat* from the world of kids and husbands, to our big slumber party. On the Agenda was lots of fellowshipping, reading and talking about our one year Bible, and live worship music. Lucky for us, we have in the bunch people who can actually play instruments and sing!
We pretty much arrived while it was stormy, and the ocean was so cool to watch! We talked, ate, talked, laughed, etc all night. Saturday was pretty much the same, and as the sun broke thru, we took a walk on the beach. It was a great time, a time to just spend time with the Lord and each other!
Since we had the house till Monday morning, and everyone had to leave Sunday Afternoon ( Mostly to get the kids back to school etc) I decided that I would stay overnight and told Dave to bring the kiddies down. So the second half ( Sunday afternoon till Monday at noon) consisted of my family in the house the sleeps 10........The kids had a ball running around
from room to room figuring out where they wanted to sleep. Dave went home Sunday, along with Dan. Dan volunteered to go home and do Doggie duty. I told him he could stay home from school....so he was like sure!!!
I slept on the couch that night, with the fireplace on and the sliding door open to listen to the ocean....and the second picture is that morning as the sun rose. It was a great time to pray, while the kids were still asleep.
So now Im all about getting friends together to have *get aways* at this house! Im thinking of some families or a specific Yahoo group that could work! lol
