Shumway Retreat

Each Summer for over 15 years we have had a Shumway Retreat. It started out as a long weekend in Logan Utah The year Courtney was born that was 1995. It has grown to a week of Shumway fun. In the past we have had homework to do reading books to discuss while we are at the retreat. This year our only homework was to read mom and Dads life history. We then played a game to see who knew the answers.

We have gone to powder Mountain 4-5 times for our retreat and it has always been fun. Kelli and Richard have a boat so we ski and one day we rent jetskis. It is always funny to see Grandpa Dale ride a jetski in his jeans. This year Dallen learned to ski.

We shared a condo with Deryl and his family this year. Before we went I made the girls matching nightgowns. They were very easy and reasonably priced to make. I found a tutorial for a pillowcase dress( they are everywhere online) I used fabric instead of a pillow case. They took about a yard of fabric($1.50 each) and 30-45 minutes. The girls looked so cute in them. The night I gave them to them they showed up to family prayer wearing them. Aunt Debby was a little disappointed that I did not make her one.
