Field Trip WEEK

Yes, you read correctly….WEEK!
Why?
Because we can.
We spent yesterday at Chimney Rock Park in NC!  A beautiful place to visit if you live any where near the NC Mountains.  We hiked, attended a great program called Tracks and Traces where we dissected owl pellets.  There was an mouse skull in ours!  Then we made books with samples of animal tracks them for our upcoming hike.  Although we didn’t find any tracks we did find a cool black fuzzy caterpillar.  We also saw a beautiful waterfall. 
Today we are in Hendersonville, NC spending the next couple days with dad.  We have plans to visit a local museum, see replicas of American Indian homes that 8th graders have done, visit the local courthouse and tour historic downtown.  Not to mention an aquatic adventure in the indoor pool and football tossing on the front lawn of the hotel.  I think there is a Mass General Store downtown too! 
Then it’s back home for our Championship football banquet on Thursday night, dinner with the preacher on Friday night and a fun filled Saturday of college football.
Next week will be back to normal I guess but it’s so nice to get a week to explore the world around us. 
What are you guys doing this week?
IN HIM,

    We're not doing anything nearly as exciting. It's just the same ol, same ol' this week, but that's ok too. Maybe we'll get some things checked off of our to-do list yet!
