Friday Rocket Man was home from his new job in Florida and we planned a trip to Table Rock. It’s a short drive and I’m wanting to get my fill of all this beautiful country before we leave it for Florida. I’m sure there will be lots of adventures there but the Foothills of SC are just gorgeous. Especially in the spring and fall. Summers are spent at the lake playing with our friends, The Harris’.
So Friday we visited a small place and saw The Rock Man, The Glass Lady, The Reptile Man, and had the best ice cream and hamburgers we’ve had in a while.
Most of the pictures were taken in Rock Man’s shop. We spent hours in there. He’s such a great guy. Last week he came to our Classical Conversations Group and gave a presentation on rocks, crystals and minerals.
I had the camera for a bit but then it was taken out of my hands and my youngest son took pictures. He did a pretty good job.
One of our favorite parts was being introduced to the pocket flute (tin whistle but wooden). We purchased two while there. I love the sound of Rocket Man’s. It’s so beautiful……
So here’s our day in pictures…
Just for fun…..can you name any of these???
I took this looking through a glass kalidiescope. It turned out so cool.
My son took this photo. I loved the way he saw the light and photographed it. Maybe I’ll raise a photographer yet.
I admit, our house is crazy. Some seem so calm but ours is wild. But every once in a while God will give me a glimpse of what I’m trying to teach them……to love and look out for one another. Here baby girl gets a lift up to see the flavors of icecream available to try.
Lovely without makeup…….Rocket Man, me and the new flute.
Looks fun, huh?
It was. We hope to go back soon.
So glad you enjoyed your weekend together. I'm sure it does get noisy with three boys and a girl. Mine gets noisy with just three or four girls.
Those sure are some pretty rocks. We have a rock museum around here. One day our family will have to go.
