This year Bryan and I were able to keep up with the tradition and we joined 10 other couples at Hume Lake for the couples retreat.

On Saturday, we had plenty of time to run around an have lots of fun. After our team spanked all the other teams Bryan (my husband), Allison, Jared,  Bryan (my cousin),  Abbi, and I rented golf carts and raced around Hume. At one point Bryan and I were on two wheels trying to pass the other two golf carts. We had lots of fun but the hills were killer. You almost had to get out and push the golf carts up the hill. We eventually made our way up the hill to the Joshua Institute and took some couples and group pictures. I think we broke most of the rules, but as the speaker said that weekend, “all is fair in love and war.”

As per tradition we took a big group picture at the end of the weekend.

On Friday night we decided to sign up (with a little coaxing from my dad) for the GPS Adventure game. My father signed himself, my mother, Bryan and I up on a team. We were determined to kick butt and win so we all agreed to wear shorts and tennis shoes and be ready to run.

On Saturday afternoon before the game began other couples from our group came to play. So, of course I had to start talking smack and let them know that we were going to spank them. Little did I know that the night before they had signed up to be on our team. So, I had only one thing left to do, become the team captain.

Our team of  7 worked well together to quickly find all the clues. Once we got within 50 feet of the clues my dad was amazing at finding where they were hidden. It was like he had a homing beacon for the things. To put it mildly, we beat all the other teams. I felt a little bad when 30 minutes later we were riding around and saw another team still looking for clues. Guess they signed up on the wrong team.

Bryan and I went early to the couples conference with my sister and her husband. On Friday, Jared and Allison led us to a stream that fed into the lake. We proceeded to follow the stream and just take time to look around. We had tons of fun finding small waterfalls and other interesting things. We had tons of fun exploring!
