Sweetheart Retreat, 2012

We are so grateful for our good friends that we get to spend a weekend in February with!  We look forward to it every year...fun stories, lots of laughs, tons of good food and treats, and plenty of gossip to go around!  We have so much fun and we especially want to thank Holli Leslie for including us every year!  We left for Leslie's cabin on Thursday about noon, stopped at a little Chick-fil-A for some lunch and then got up there in the early afternoon.  We were the first to arrive, right behind Holli and Derek.  We took our projector this year, so we set that up and broke out the treats, and started "Shanghai Noon" and soon the others were pouring in!  By 8:00 or so, everyone was there.  We stayed up until after 1:00 in the morning talking and laughing and telling stories.  The next morning we were up and eating sourdough pancakes and getting ready for our ride!  This year no one had any major accidents...and all the sleds ran great!  (It won't be a memory year for any outlandish stories!) 
It was great to be with old friends,  
Craig and Dorie...
 Jennifer and Troy...
 Derek and Holli...
Bart and Candice...
 AJ and Kristie...
And great to meet some new friends and get to know them!  We had a lot of fun!
 Jennifer and Corey Gunter...
The guys ended up on top of Jefferson by the end of the day...us girls went back to the cabin!
It was a fun day of riding and fun to get back and have a great "Cafe Rio" dinner that Holli had prepared for us...complete with Mint Brownies, by Jennifer, and Cheesecake!
 On Saturday, it was a little stormy, and we decided not to ride, but to go over to Hungry Bear where they were having the Snow Cross races.  It was a lot of fun to see the little kids race, and even better when the fearless teenagers raced and would jump so high!
 
Great time, great friends, and just plain fun!!
