- Island Retreat, October 31

Posted in November 2009

Hellooooo, out there! We have had a hard time recovering from this last retreat on the island. Byron lost his helper fellow just prior to the retreat with no time to find another, not to mention the WHERE to find another part! So it was the boys and me to help. We can do a lot of the tasks involved in running a retreat, but it's hard work! We took Tuesday off from most school activities getting by with a little handwriting and language. Yesterday was Math Test day for all which doesn't take too long and we were able to squeeze in most of our regular work. Today we'll have a full schedule with even a little extra so we can all go to the big city tomorrow for the arrival of our short term guy from the States.

Dalton accomplished his archery class with the campers this weekend. All of them did fair and most were able to at least hit the banana leave bale. One or two actually hit the target paper! Only a few shot arrows far and away. It was a great success with many participants.

Have a great weekend!

Hi!
I was scanning random blogs and came across yours. I'm guessing your boys learned a ton from helping out, and the bookwork can wait. What fabulous pictures!
I spent 1978-1981 in Bolivia, but I was in the jungle (I was an MK). I know your climate is very different, but can relate to living in a different culture to some degree.
God bless, Laraba
