I know this is a little late (like a week late) but this is the first chance I've gotten to update. I had an AMAZING at Fall Retreat this year. The first thing we did was discover what team we were on and decide what are team name was. I was on the black team and our name was the Ligers (not my idea), and we came in fourth out of four in creativity in our flag and name.
Then we went to the food challenge. Somehow I always ended up eating fish. This stuff was worth ten points ( the most you could get). It consisted of a bunch of different kinds of fish that nobody has ever heard of and its consistency made me think I was eating a brain.
The food challenge ended the first evening, after that we went and ate supper, had a devotion, then just hung out around the camp fire.
The next day we had the water challenge ( yes the water challenge means we get in the lake... in the fall) during this challenge I managed to get my pants completely soaked! In this challenge we tied for third. After we all got into dry clothes we went on to the scavenger hunt, then the riddle challenge. We came in second in the riddle challenge. Then we had a challenge made up of a bunch if different challenges which were worth various amount of points. that ended the second day.
Day number three brought the fire challenge, the raft challenge, the ball challenge and the trivia challenge. Now during the entire trip we got a roll of duct tape and some twine and we were supposed to make a raft using the tape. twine, and the rest of the stuff had to be all natural. These rafts were judged by two things, durability and creativeness. Black team's raft was won fourth in durability and first in creativity ( our first win!). After we got all pumped up about our first win we went on to win the fire challenge, ball challenge, and the final challenge... the trivia challenge. All of these challenges were won by the balk team!!!!!!!!
When we got back to the church we were all anxious to hear who won the the entire thing. And guesse what BLACK TEAM WON!!!!!!!! GOOOOOOOOO LIGERS! Our prize was we all got to sign the golden paddle, and we got cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory! So that ended my awesome weekend. This weekend isn't shaping up to be as great as the last one unfortunately, I'm siting here watching the Georgia game right now...... sad times. But I haven't lost hope, I still have faith that we could turn it around if our team would start playing football.
