Hollywild Christmas

Okay, so its been about 4 or 5 years since we've been to Hollywild during Christmas time.....and I'd forgotten how awesome it is!!!! It totally beats Roper Mountain Lights and is waaaaaaay better than the Greenville Zoo! The lights are really awesome but the best part hands down are the animals! They are amazing and some of them are so used to humans it is kinda scary. So fun and already on the schedule for next year. We will be back!!

Telescope Time

A few nights ago we pulled out the telescope that Paw Paw and Maw Maw gave to the girls last year for Christmas. It's been at the beach and we brought it home after Thanksgiving. The moon was looking spectacular this night and then using our Go Sky Watch app on the iPad discovered that Jupiter was in view as well! It was an awesome night to see God's creation in such a cool way. We are studying Astronomy this year in science so it just fit in so well to what we've been talking about during school. Love it!

Love the look on Claire's face here when we figure out it's Jupiter we are viewing!

Hunting....

Claire has enjoyed two hunting trips recently with Daddy. I really don't know what happens when they go but they always come back in a good mood and Claire seems to really enjoy it! As for Cam and I? Well, we are content to stay at home and spend time together too!!

Camdyn's 8th Birthday

We loved celebrating our sweet Cam's 8th Birthday at Whispering Pines Stables! Ms. Debbie was so sweet to us and the kids really enjoyed being with the animals and learning about God's magnificent creatures! We love you Cam and are so proud of the young lady you are becoming. Your heart for others and your fearless spirit are truly God's blessings in your life. We love you!!
