Mikayla and I got to go to a retreat for homeschoolers held a couple hours away at Caliraya resort center. It is a beautiful place, and we had a great time.
There were many different activities, including a giant slip 'n slide. It was made of several massive tarps and went down a large hill into a mud pit. Mikayla (unlike several of the older boys) tried very hard not to get in the mud. She was the only little one who was brave enough to start at the top with with the big kids.
Mikayla also had a blast horseback riding with her new friends, Melisa and Betsy. They got to go on a long ride all around the property.
There was also a great pool, and the kids all went swimming every afternoon - rain or shine (and it was raining more than shining while we were there).
Mikayla had class every morning with the other kindergarteners. They had a blast together. The rest of the kids spent the week doing Iowa testing, but Mikayla won't have to start those until next year.
The kids prepared all week for an outreach on Friday. A group of Filipino kids came and joined them for the morning, and Mikayla loved making her new friend feel welcome and loving on her.
Both Mikayla and I made some good friends during the week, and we will look forward to seeing them again at future meetings.
What we enjoyed most of all though was some Mommy-daughter time. We had lots of fun just hanging out together. We praise our Father for allowing us to have this wonderful time together.
