This is Part 3 of my weekend retreat.\u00a0 If you have missed the first two here is Part 1<\/a> & Part 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After the wonderful fellowship at the craft bazaar we went back to the hangout villa for dinner.\u00a0 More yummy food and sadly I have no pictures the food.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

We had the famous bonfire and prayer time.\u00a0 It is a special time that has become a tradition for the group.\u00a0 We did run into some hiccups when things for the bonfire were supposed to be there but were not.\u00a0 That didn’t damper anything as it gave us\u00a0some extra\u00a0special bonding time while waiting for Callaway Gardens to bring the supplies.\u00a0 In post 2 I mentioned I found my camera mounts for my tripod recently so I brought the tripod with me to the bonfire.\u00a0 I am so glad that I did because we were able to take a group shot with everyone in it!\u00a0 I was also able to get some\u00a0photos of the group fellowshipping while we were waiting!\u00a0 By the time we were done with prayer time it was close to midnight and everyone was ready to head back to the villas!<\/p>\n

The next morning was a bit sad because the first people were leaving to return home.<\/p>\n

A group of us went back over to Callaway Gardens.\u00a0 A few people wanted to go on Callaway Gardens Treetop Adventure<\/a>.\u00a0 I went to help with the baby (one of\u00a0my friends cutie pies) but I got\u00a0delayed getting there\u00a0and so\u00a0I wound\u00a0up taking some photos and videos and cheering the ladies on instead!\u00a0 It looked fun and I texted David telling him that he and I should go there sometime and do that!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0\u00a0For those who don’t know me that is usually not my cup of tea!\u00a0 The ladies went on the short course which takes about 40 minutes.\u00a0 There were 5 zip lines and\u00a0about 20ish\u00a0other challenges.<\/p>\n

After the ladies were done we went over to the Discovery Center to their gift shop.\u00a0 I found it!\u00a0 I found my secret sister’s ornament!\u00a0 I don’t have my secret sister yet but I have her ornament!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 I looked through the ornaments that they had out but nothing said “that’s the one”.\u00a0 I asked the lady who was working at the counter if they had any ornaments.\u00a0 She said that they didn’t have their Christmas stuff out yet but showed me the ones that they had out, including a couple of Callaway Gardens Ornaments.\u00a0 I briefly explained that I was looking for a special ornament for my secret sister.\u00a0 She said hold on a minute.\u00a0 She explained that she wasn’t supposed to do this but she brought out a couple of ornaments that will be coming out when they set up their Christmas merchandise.\u00a0 One of the ornaments that she brought out was it!\u00a0 I pray that she doesn’t get into trouble for selling a couple of ornaments early (someone else bought the other ornament that she brought out).\u00a0 I did also buy one of the Callaway Gardens ornaments that was already out for my family.<\/p>\n

We then spent some time just chatting while we were waiting to catch up with some others from our group.\u00a0 On our way to lunch we stopped by the Sibley Horticultural Center.\u00a0 They had a Collegiate Football Topiary Display<\/span><\/u><\/strong><\/a>,<\/p>\n

They had a football field display and had Albert (UF’s mascot) and the LSU topiary on the field.<\/p>\n

After we were finished we went to lunch at small littler diner.\u00a0 Sorry no pictures either.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude41\u00a0 For someone who loves to take pictures I realize how many photos I didn’t take this whole trip!\u00a0 I stayed a lot longer than planned (since I had a long drive home) but it was well worth getting to spend more time with new friends!<\/p>\n

The ride home was uneventful until the road was closed\u00a0down to one lane and the backup was a mile long. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 It added about an extra\u00a0long hour to my trip.\u00a0 The next day my 2 year old\u00a0was glued to my hip even more than she usually was.<\/p>\n

If you are part of the group and are reading this if you have never gone on the weekend retreat you won’t regret going!!<\/p>\n

Have a blessed night!<\/p>\n\n
