We went on a church retreat this weekend. It was actually with a sister church, not our church. It was in a youth hostel in the vineyards. The youth hostel is a converted castle fort. It was a wonderful location! The people are also great! That's why we went...the people. I unfortunately got pretty sick. Jessica was also sick. Nicole gave us some kind of head cold she had earlier in the week! I spent a good part of the weekend in my room listening to audio books about ADHD. The wonderful part was watching Philip, Thomas, Sarah and Nicole all play from morning to night. Sarah had a meltdown because she had to go to bed. Thomas had a temper tantrum because he didn't want to leave. The tantrums were not fun, and the sickness isn't fun (I'm still sick). I would not have missed it...I use to play like that as a child. It was as it should be. No need for computers or TV. No need for mom and dad to entertain them. They just played and played and played! It was great!!! Too bad I was sick, but I am only going to remember the kids playing so well.
