Passover Retreat

We just came back from Passover Retreat and we are all pretty tired. The kids will tell you they had a fabulous time. Prime on the first night, in the room for less than 1/2 hour, already asked if we can stay for 3 nights instead of just 2. He already wants to go back next year. I'm volunteering at my church tomorrow so had to come back early. But it was a very uplifting experience for me personally and I learned and witness many great things. I also learned few things about India since most of the people there are from India. Their devotion to God and passionate prayers really impressed upon me.

Share some pictures of J and Prime when we had a some down time. The kids also went swimming every chance they got and I got to take few short and much needed naps while daddy took them.


This is what thrilled the kids in the beginning: Bunk beds!! They slept in the same bed both nights. Great exercise (and obviously fun too) climbing up and down, up and down. 1st they were little scared since the ladder is movable, but then they were pros. One of them is always moving constantly in the night and mommy and daddy kept getting woken up. I'm so glad and hopeful I can finally get some real sleep in my own room. I was surprised the kids brought their notebooks and eagerly wrote every night.


The kids do enjoy climbing trees and they are getting better and less afraid.


I love looking over the lake... there is something about being in nature, esp. lakes that soothes me.


Building houses for the fairies. Prime found a stick and use it for all sorts of things like digging up various rocks and pretending it to be his walking stick and his sword. He found a large rock and pretend that was his cell phone and talked quite a while with his "pretend" friend telling his "pretend" friend he is on his way and will be at the meeting place shortly (That's when we were on our way to the dining hall). LOL.


I found little patches of moss and love how shoots are coming out of the moss. J gets a ride from a boy who lives near by. J get a lift from daddy to smell the red flower buds.


I found a foot print looking thing by a tree. Then Prime started to see things and says he sees a person's face in the roots. Watching baptism service....whenever someone is done with baptism, every one sings, "Happy Day". I wish I had the lyrics to the song... the melody was lovely.
