Bluestone 2010

We had yet another wonderful weekend at Bluestone Camp & Retreat Center this past weekend! It was a little rainy, but  we had a lot of good company, and great food to keep us happy :)

It was the “Eco-Stewards” weekend, so mom was RIGHT AT HOME! ;). This means more “eco-beads”…Joshua, Jenna, Jeff and 5.21.2010 Bluestone 008 - editedI participated!! Jeff made 2 bracelets and Jenna strung her very own necklace! Yes, my 2 year old sat and strung beads onto a necklace!!!  Joshua was Nana’s lil helper and Mommy made 2 really awesome bracelets! (ALMOST as good as Nana’s) We stayed up giggling with the girls (and Jeff) rolling beads and making jewelry. Jeff only got his man card revoked once, besides for simply being there making jewelry! HAHA

Did I mention the food?? Saturday was COMPLETELY organic. They found mostly local farms and shops to provide free range chicken, all organic fruits and vegetables, and whole grain breads. It was delicious! I really do wish we could eat that healthy 24/7!!!

 

Then we played… we swung, we wrestled in the grass, we took walks, we took naps, we pretended to drink a LOT of tea (with Jenna of course, she loves her tea pot!!!), we played games, we played airplane, we had FUN!!!!!

Ok, at first I felt like a bad mother, but after thinking about it, I didn't see him much… take note that there are no pictures of Joshua. This is because as soon as we got there, he hopped out of the car and disappeared. Never again to be seen. Seriously, he even skipped a few meals. He has a friend, Brett that he runs around with at Bluestone. Brett lives there and is very familiar with the camp, so they just run amuck. They’re always good, and around somewhere but I do think that this is partly because I am no longer “cool”. Ugh. Preteens! (:
