Men's Retreat

Ray and a friend went out to Camp Freedom this weekend for a lumberjack fantasy camp. I stayed home with the boys, got pizza, watched movies and slept in my soft bed. I think it was a win/win. There are definitely times that the idea of Camp Freedom is just as great, if not better than the reality of Camp Freedom. Ray really needed a place where he could stretch his legs and have fun doing these hyper-masculine chores. I really needed a place where I could plan and scheme up big new projects. Camp Freedom is good for Ray's body, while it's good for my imagination. So far, Camp Freedom makes us both quite happy, but in very different ways. I anticipate having some ladies-only retreats in the future, but it will probably wait until there is a cabin there. By then, hopefully, all my friends' babies will be old enough to let them leave for a night! It did sound like they had fun out there. There was a little rain on Saturday afternoon, so they spent time playing cards and drinking in Fort Awesome. They ate burgers in town and slept in Hammock Grove. Ray worked on the wood pile and put a few more walkway panels out. He made this video of his progress. He's embarrassed because in the video, he says it's March 23rd. It's not.
