Saturday we got the opportunity to go to Grandfather Mountain! I haven't been since I was a young child and Josh had never been so it was a treat and a blessing to us. It was great family time and an awesome experience for Ryan and Scott as well!
The kids learned about what a habitat is.
They also learned about how animals in habitats all need water, food, and shelter.
After the lesson they got to play a game where half the group pretended to be deer, and the other half pretended to be food, water, or shelter. It was sort of like a tag game to show how animals are dependent on natural resources.
We saw three bears. (It was nice to see them behind a fence instead of our back yard)!

On the bridge! It was so windy!
It was a little scary, but really cool!
Funny pose with Mere!

Josh and Ryan went out to the farthest point together.
Scott didn't like the wind.
Awesome weather the whole day.
"Let them praise the name of the Lord,
for his name alone is exalted;
his majesty is above earth and heaven."
Psalm 148:13
Back across
Amazing!
1 Mile above sea level at this point.
Ready to hit the road.
Rock candy in hand!
Showing some tired eyes here. Ryan got up at 5:45 a.m.
And some cousin fun in Boone to top the day off.
We were pretty loud! =)
What a fun day and what a gift! Praise the Lord for all he has created and the beauty we get to enjoy in his creation daily.
