Fall Retreat

This past weekend was our Life Class Fall Retreat. We went to Emerald Isle Beach and had a blast. I was interested to see how Hailey would like the beach because when we went over the summer she was so little that she didn't do much except sit in her bouncy seat under the tent. I knew that wasn't even going to be an option this time! Little miss busy body hardly ever sits still anymore!

When we got there on Friday we checked into the two houses that we would be using and drove back and forth between them in a golf cart to get things ready. Hailey thought that was just the funniest thing! She laughed and laughed as the wind blew her hair and face.

She had the best time!

After things were ready, we spent time hanging out with those who were already there and waiting on the rest to get there. Hailey was exhausted so we made it an early night...although she slept terribly both nights.

Saturday we spent about an hour or so on the beach. Hailey loved the sand! And yes, she tried to eat it. We spread out a huge beach towel for her to play on, but of course she wanted to play with the sand more.

notice Ryan holding the back of her shirt to keep her from crawling off the towel?!

What is this stuff?

Fun! (We had to put her paci in her mouth to keep her from eating it.)

cuteness! I love her little hat.

Saturday and Sunday, Ryan taught a few sessions to our Life Class about watching a movie with a Christian Worldview. Hailey and I didn't even attempt to go to them...I knew she wouldn't make it and be quite a distraction. Ha!

We played a few Minute-to-Win-it games one night and they were hilarious!

 We had a great time and Hailey got loved on all weekend! I'd say it was a successful fall retreat!
