This past weekend Seth and I went to a Father Son Retreat here. It was an incredible weekend and we are really blessed that our church has built such an incredible place. It offered all the boys a chance to get to do things they don't ordinarily get to do.
One of the favorite activities was playing with fire. By each cabin was a big fire pit that had a fire going most of the time and the boys just loved gathering branches, leaves and anything else they could find to burn.
They had the opportunity to ride horses, play paintball, basketball, go down zip lines and ride in paddle boats a round the lake.
They also got to learn to work as a team as the entire weekend was a competition between teams. Seth and I were on the Lime team and we had a task of building a race car out of cardboard and racing it the last day. Our team came up with a brilliant idea that involved duct taping the kids to the dads. It is too hard to explain but it was a great idea that led to our victory and the eventual crowning of the Lime team as the Grand Champions of the 2008 Father Son Retreat. The boys were so excited to get their medals.
I loved my time with Seth. I can't wait until next year.
