Over Memorial Day weekend we attended a Family Retreat. It was in association with Direction for our Times and The Volumes by Anne. Bruce and I have been reading The Volumes since Andrew was born and they have been a source of much needed grace and peace through some very difficult times. We still ready then daily and find that they have so enriched our faith and brought us closer to a closer relationship with Jesus.
We were so excited when we heard that they were offering a FAmily Retreat ONLY a little over an hour from our home. We had such a wonderful time meeting and faith sharing with other families AND growing spiritually together as a family. The grounds were spectacular and the boys had a BLAST!!! We participated in a group Way of the Cross as well as a Living Rosary in the Rosary Garden. The FAmily Scavenger Hunt activity enabled us explore the beautiful grounds and work together as a family. We fished, hunted for bugs, canoed on the pond, and many, many more.
There is another Family Retreat scheduled for Labor Day weekend. Information can be found at directionforourtimes.com.
Here are some photos!
