Natural Bridge Field Trip

November 10th, My class took a field trip to the Natural Bridge, VA. It was so much fun! :D

These are some pictures of the way up there...


Mountains! :D

This is the building...

And the inside....

Next we went down a walkway...

There was a little stream running down the side...

After walking down the walkway, we reached this building...

Beyond that patio, there was the lake...

Then I looked up and saw this...

As I walked down the walkway under the bridge, I saw a few of the kids in my class crowding around in one spot, crouching over the rock rail staring at a certain spot in the lake. I asked them what they were doing. There was a baby snake in the water...

(sorry if it's hard to see)
It's kind of cute! :)

If you can't tell, this is a view of the top part of the bridge viewing from up under it.

That box is marking the supposed George Washington's initials he carved in there himself from when he was young.

This is a little wooden bridge going over the lake under the Natural Bridge...

Under the little bridge.

Then we walked....

....to a replica of a small Indian village.


This dude was our guide. :)

This is a wig-wam.

And the inside of it...

This is something, I don't know what it was supposed to be...
This was up under the tent thing...






Next we walked over a cement bridge over a creek.


Then down a path...

The "Lost River"

Then we walked further and we came to the waterfall.

On our way walking back, we saw a little otter sitting on a rock...
HE'S SO FLUFFY!!!!!!! :D

Then we walked back up the way we came then drove down to the caverns.
I didn't get many pictures of the caverns, and the ones I did get were too dark, so sorry.

Hope I didn't bore you! :)

You know you're living in the year 2010 when...

1. You accidentally enter your PIN on the microwave.

2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.

4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.

6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.

7. Every commercial on TV has a web site at the bottom of the screen.

8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't even have the first 20 or 30 years of your life, is now a cause for panic so you turn around to go and get it.

10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.

11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. :)

12. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.

13. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.

14. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list.

Now you're laughing at yourself! :)

Hope you enjoyed! :)
Have a wonderful evening! :)

P.S. Happy Veteran's Day! :)

She's OK!

Hey, guys! :)

I wanna thank you guys for all the prayers. Lila's grandma came through surgery fine! :)

She's in the hospital recovering right now. My cousin told me that it started about 7 am and ended about 1 pm yesterday. The doctors said that it really couldn't have gone much better! God definitely kept her safe and guided the doctors! :)

Even though the surgery is over, she's probably still in a lot of pain, and won't be able to do much for a while. So please just keep her in your prayers! Thank you! :)

Prayer Request

Hi, guys! Will you please pray for my cousin, Lila's grandma? She's having an open heart surgery today. My family and I are really worried about it.

Here is the e-mail my cousin Lila sent me last night...

Hey. I was just wanting to let you know that my grandma is having a major surgery tomorrow. It is an open heart surgery and the surgery its self will take at least 5 hours! There are many risks and everyone is nervous and praying for her. The reason for the surgery is she has an aneurysm. It is in one of her heart valves. They are going to remove the valve and replace it with a pig valve. (Apparently pigs have the same size heart as humans.) She will be in the hospital for I think about a week or so until she is allowed to go home. (If everything goes smoothly) She will not be able to do anything for at least a month, including driving, cooking, and for a little while, standing and walking. I am really worried, along with the rest of my family. Every night in my prayers I ask God for a successful surgery and a successful recovery. I pray that nothing will go wrong and that she will feel ok by Christmas. Please pray for my grandma! She needs all the prayers she can get.

~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~

Please keep her and my family in your prayers.

Thank you

Mark 6:41-42

41 And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He blessed the food and broke the loaves and He kept giving them to the disciples to set before them; and He divided up the two fish among them all.

42 They all ate and were satisfied,

Isn't she just cute?
I found that video looking for something else. I've seen her on a few things, but I never knew she was a Christian. But she seems so adorable! :)
