We Have Retreated.

So, we went on a church retreat this weekend. It was at a Christian conference center approx. 2 hours away. To say that we came home exhausted would be an understatement. We quickly determined that perhaps Lydia/we are not ready for an overnight adventure where the walls are not soundproof and a multitude of children are running through the halls. Lydia skipped her nap on Saturday due to the noise -- this made for a very not-so-fun evening. She was awake again at 5:30 am. Needless to say, she was more than ready for bed tonight.

The drive to the conference center was really beautiful. Several times Brandon and I commented on the "big sky". The little towns we drove through were so quaint, and I caught myself wondering about the people that live there. What do they do? Have they ever even been to Prague? Life seems so much more simple for them, but at the same time so much more difficult. The weather wasn't so nice, so we weren't willing to stop to take any pictures of the countryside. We'll need to make a point of it in the future though.

Even with the sleeping difficulties we had a really nice time. Everyone still thought Lydia was just "adorable", and it was good to actually talk with and meet some of the people in the church. Oh, and the s'mores were yummy too.
