This past weekend, C.J. and Owen got to spend a few days, just the two of them, at a father/son retreat in Oregon. And let me just say, it made me so emotional to see them absolutely beaming when they returned! My boys are so blessed to have the Daddy that God gave them! I should really let C.J. write about the retreat, but he's been pretty busy lately so you will have to settle with my second hand version. The weekend was full of fun, masculine activities: an obstacle course, fishing, canoeing, catching salamanders, swimming in the lake, sliding into the lake off of a giant inflatable slide, playing a trust blindfold game, making walking sticks, etc. They also managed a trip to a board game shop in Portland on the way. I'm pretty sure C.J. said that Owen didn't eat a single vegetable all weekend. Add that to a few days of spending alone time with your Daddy doing some pretty fun stuff and it makes for one awesome, rejuvenating weekend. Next year Silas will be old enough to go, too, so you better believe this will become an annual event in our house!

That's awesome. I'm jealous (for my husband and sons). Good for CJ and Owen!
