This past week we went on a marriage retreat. It was alot of fun. We had to be there at 0830 on Thursday morning and we were finished on 1630 on Friday. Since we were staying over night we had to leave Collin at a kennel. This made us nervous. We found a great small family ran kennel. They did great with him. And we only paid 15 dollars.
After we dropped the dog off we had to go to Lampasas, Texas which is about a 45 minute drive. Once we arrived there we dropped the kids off at the Nursery at the church. Then we went out to a ranch. They had a lot of horses and a big that ran with the horses named Miss Piggy. I was not informed that we would be working with horses til we got there, as I was in flip-flops, so not a good choice in footwear :(
The marriage retreat was a blast. Who knew that you could do couples therapy with horses. I sure didn't, but they taught as alot, especially with Michael getting ready for deployment. We met some great new friends there as well.
After we were done for the day we went and picked up our kids and headed to the hotel. We got some great rooms, and unfortunately the pool was not working, what a bummer. After we got settled into the hotel, we dropped the kids back off for dinner. They gave a list of local restaurants to choose from to eat dinner at. we choose the Italian one, we ate at one in Fredricksburg, VA, so we thought it would be just as good, NOT. This one was not the best, but the desert was really great. Then we went to the local park and walked around and just hung out. It was nice to just spend time with each other instead of having the kids screaming every minute of the day.
The next day of the retreat we got to play with more horses. I don't really know my way around a horse, so this was an interesting experience. We learned how to get a horse to move without touching it and lots of basic stuff about a horse. We a had a great time at this marriage retreat. We will definitely be going to ones in the future.
