On February 14 we spent a lovely winter day-long retreat at Bill and Marshall’s farm.  Here’s what some of the children and youth liked about the day:

Levi:  …feeding the sheep.  I liked the feel of their tongues—it feels weird.

Simon:  …all the games we played.  The slap-the-person-with-the-fish-game, because right as you get to someone they say someone else’s name and so you’re running around.  [Editor’s note:  the “fish” was a stuffed animal].

Soraya:  …sledding!  When Sam’s dad made that ramp and you landed, “Ooof!”  Also eating.  I’d have to say I liked the breakfast burritos best.

Sam: ….singing all the songs!  And the Rock-Paper-Scissors contest.  I versed Rebecca and Bill.  I beat Bill and then Rebecca beat me.  It was lucky that my dad won. [Editor’s note: in a thrilling finale, David S. rallied from a 2-0 deficit to Rebecca to take the 2nd annual MMC R-P-S crown].

Sarah: …singing and being with other people.

Lydia: …playing with the kids in the basement and sledding.

Norah: ...sledding, and getting all snowed on!

Dejaquan: ...I loved the group games and the sledding.
