Zoo Sleepover

The girls and I got to tag along with a friend's Girl Scout Troop on an overnight at the Zoo!  We had a lot of fun together :)

We slept in an education building (I was glad not to be near animals during the night!) and dropped our stuff off first.  We met the ladies who would be the 'teachers' and played a few games.



Our first stop in the Zoo was near the aquarium where there is breeding of different fish.  These ones are cuttlefish.



There were also sand-dollars and hermit crabs in another tank. 


After this building, we got a behind-the-scenes look at the aquarium. I snapped a picture from behind the moonjelly tank (my favorite!)


We also learned about these "archer fish" that can shoot water from their mouths to move food down from trees (or in this case, the aquarium glass).



We spent the evening in the aquarium, playing more games, and enjoying the creation!





At 11:30......it was finally bedtime!  We shared an air mattress and took a selfie before attempting to go to sleep ;)


In the morning the girls got to do a craft and then we met more animals!  A bearded dragon, an armadillo, a python, and an owl!





We had a great time on our overnight! :)

More Bloopers

These pictures just make me laugh ~ especially the last two. I have a feeling that Aunt Laura, in particular, will think those last two are funny also. :)

A dear friend

I'm leading the study tomorrow at my Bible Study. We're reading a book called Crazy Love by Francis Chan and the chapter I'm in 'charge of' of real life examples of people who are living completely for Christ. I've come up with an example from my own life to talk about and I thought I'd let my blog readers in on what I'm going to share tomorrow. Enjoy! I met Mrs. Hohman on a hot July afternoon after mistakenly knocking on her neighbor’s door. I stood on her front porch with my mom, nervously waiting to meet the woman I planned on living with for my first year at Grove City . I felt like I was towering over her short frame as she showed me the 3 rd floor and barked the rules of “no swearing, no smoking, no boys”. I handed over my rent check and moved to her house in late August. September came and a fellow freshman had a mental breakdown and her bed was now available to me…… So, after 3 weeks of living with Mrs. Hohman I moved out....
