last weekend marked the 3rd annual chick retreat and it seriously could not have come at a better time. last week my mom was out of town for work and my grandpa and uncle were in town, which meant that my dad didn't get the rest he most assuredly needs...therefore, i had a tired, cranky, difficult dad to manage on my own.
vacation was totally necessary.
anna, whit, chels and i made our way up to the ymca at estes on friday night...complete with laughing, craziness, random songs and loud singing. (seriously, we're good enough to take the show on the road) (c;
once we got up there, the cabin was amazing and i was excited to see the stars. there is nothing like a night sky uninhibited by city lights...after we got settled in a bit, chelsea shared the new songs she finished. so awesome. then she took song requests and we sang until poor chelsea couldn't sing or play anymore.
saturday whitney made an awesome breakfast of a tasty egg casserole and sausage. we had planned on going out for a hike before lunch, but we all (well...except whitney) were just worn out, tired, lazy, whatever, and didn't actually get any hiking in. sorry whit. )c:
we ended up playing consequences most of the morning into the afternoon, which was crazy fun! among the consequences...chelsea had to wear a banana on her head for a round, i had to wear a lampshade for a round, anna couldn't talk for a round (unless the total was 99, then she would honk like a goose), chelsea had to play a round standing on the table, i had to balance beam the porch railing...and much more craziness. (c:
after all the games, chelsea made an amazing salad for lunch. then a quiet afternoon until the amazing thunder/lightning storm...so cool. anna did nachos for dinner and after a quick trip to the store for eggs and s'more supplies (and an elk sighting thrown in) we had fun laughing and just enjoying each others company for the rest of the evening. i made french toast sunday morning (all while enjoying the amazing view out the kitchen window) and only burned myself once. go me.
all in all it was an awesome weekend and i want to thank the girls for making it the best one yet! you're all quite amazing, i hope you know. (c:
