APB - 2011 Retreat Calgary!

As you all know the 2011 Retreat was in Calgary this year and it was planned around the Stampede so we could all get the chance to experience this fun Calgary tradition. Carrie, Cheryl, Susan, Gina and Natalie were all at this retreat and it was a blast! A big thanks to Gina and Natalie for planning the Retreat and a super big thanks to Natalie and her family for inviting us all to stay with them. They have a beautiful home and a perfect basement for a good old fashion sleepover with sorority sisters.

The Retreat consisted of a lot of great talking and catching up, We did one big night out at a dinner theater and it was really funny. I think we all enjoyed the live comedy show and the food was amazing. We also spent one entire day at the Stampede where we watched lots of rodeo and the Chuck-wagon races. We also got tickets to the Grandstand Show, ate everything greasy and yummy we could find and bought tickets to the try and win the prize home (sadly none of us won). We also sent hours touring the demo booths and checking out all the cool gadgets and gimmicky stuff. Natalie even bought a super cool Popsicle maker that we had to test when we go home and it really did work well. We also spent an entire day going to Banff... It was a blast to do a little road trip with some sisters again and we even managed to get ourselves lost. Getting lost turned into a lot of good laughs. After stopping for direction we were able to get going in the right direction and had a great day of shopping and a wonderful lunch in Banff. Overall it was a wonderful weekend... Just like most retreats we worked our way thought many bottles of wine, had several good heart-to-hearts, generated a lot of good inside jokes and of course took a bunch of great pictures. So it was another wonderful APB Retreat and everyone is looking forward to the 2012 Retreat in Vancouver. So start saving your money and mark your calendars because the next Retreat will be here before you know it.
