YW Beach Retreat

The Young Women Leaders wanted to take the girls to the beach for an overnighter and my aunt let us borrow her beach house for the event. We left on Friday around 1pm and drove the two hours to our destination. When we arrived we got some pizza for dinner and followed it with games and movies. The girls got into bed for the last movie. The movie was over around 12:30 am and the girls went straight to sleep when asked to.
On Saturday morning we got up early and ate breakfast then had our planning meeting to figure out our Wednesday night activities for the rest of the year. After that the girls went down to the beach for half an hour before some of them headed home. They ended up getting soaked from head to toe, so we had to get them all changed and cleaned up before heading out. We stopped by a souvenir shop where they each bought a little something. We all had a great time and the girls behaved exceptionally well. I was very proud of how well they got along and listened to their leaders.

  1. What fun! And good for the girls for behaving in such a way that made it fun. I'm impressed! I'm also impressed by your aunt's beach house. What little I could see, it looks gorgeous. Does she ever rent it out?
