Retreat

Yesterday we had our retreat in Maynooth college. The first thing we did was we were introduced to the speakers and then we played a game. The game that we played was very intense. We had to link arms and four people in the middle of the circle would have to try pull us out of the circle. I started off good but then Caroline tickled me and I was gone. After that game we had another game which was we had to pretend we were on the titanic and whenever the speakers would call out a number you would then grab the amount of  people you need. Roisin and Chloe ended up winning that game because Roisin is very competitive and she was pushing people out of her group and since at the end there was pairs Chloe won with her. After break we got into groups that each got cards with hypothetical questions on them. Our question was: if you found out that the baby you raised for one year was actually not your baby and the hospital had made a mistake and swapped the babies, would you keep the baby you have had for a year or get your biological baby back. Our group said we would keep the baby we had for a year but still see the biological baby. We then talked about each of the groups questions and then we went home. I really liked today and I think it was the best retreat we have had so far.
