• Exploring Roper Mountain Science Center

     

    Getting ready to watch the show at the Roper Mountain Science Center

    The first time I took a tour of Roper Mountain Science Center was with the girls class earlier this year.  It was a blast watching a space presentation, going on a nature trail, seeing the wildlife, having a picnic and more.  The girls had so much fun.  I always knew that Roper Mountain Science Center had some activities for the kids but until I went with the girls I had no idea how much!

     

    Karlie entertained by the show, anything to do with space is always a hit with her!

     

    Brina having a fun time! I got to sit next to Brina for the show.

    What are they looking at?   Don’t fall in the water!

    Red Eared Slider Turtles (of course)!  The girls were super excited to see the turtles, these are the same kind as Shipwreck and Overboard!

    Beautiful flower garden and butterflies near the butterfly crossing.

    The girls had a lot of fun exploring Roper Mountain Science Center and learning a lot of great stuff.  Roper Mountain has since become one of the girls favorite places to visit.  We try to go every month or two.  It is a great learning environment if you have kids.

  • Song: “Only You can Save” by Chris Sligh

    Jake and I had the opportunity to attend Winter Jam 2011 in Greenville, SC at the Bi-Lo Center a few weeks ago where we heard Chris Sligh sing this song live.  The chorus beginning with “I wanna love because you love….” stuck in my head.  Great song about God’s love and that he alone can save us.  A couple really neat facts about Chris Sligh is that he was on American Idol and is from Greenville, South Carolina.  If you haven’t heard this song you should listen to it.
