Team Retreat

The next day, MS had to flesh out his outline by writing a paper on the experience he'd outline (which he found easier than the outlining himself).

One time, a few weeks ago, our team went on a retreat (hence the name). The hotel we stayed at was called The Olive Branch. We did a lot of things there, but I can only mention a few. Anyway, let’s start with our packing and getting there…

The first thing we did was to pack all our things: swim stuff, entertainment, like Leapsters, game boys, Legos, and blocks. We also packed things we needed, like clothing and snacks. Then, we loaded the car, started it, and drove to the McBride’s house. There, we helped our team load their cars and vans and drove to the retreat place.

After that, we got our room keys, went to our room, and unpacked. Afterwards, we went downstairs and had lunch, which was chicken nuggets, soft drinks, and French fries and went back upstairs for a meeting. At the meeting, the fun really started. We had entertainment, like game boy, leapster, and DVD’s (the electronics) and building toys such as Mega Blocks and Legos. We also started two clubs, one of which I will mention later. Afterward, we went swimming, had dinner, watched a movie, (Waterhorse Legend Of The Deep) in the meeting room, and went back to our rooms to sleep.

The next morning, we got ready, went downstairs, and ate breakfast, which was cornflakes with milk and sugar and toast with apricot jam. After which, we went upstairs to a meeting. At the first part of the meeting, we went down to the game room. Nearby, we found three kittens and named them Ben, Didi, and Sasha. Then, we went upstairs and continued the Daredevil Club. In the club, you do “daring” things (same as the name) like being swung by your wrists back and forth and landing on a cushion. Also, you get swung around and land on a cushion. Then, we finished the meeting, ate lunch, had another meeting, packed and left.
I really enjoyed my weekend that time. I can’t wait until the next retreat.
