Happy birthday to my dear husband!
Chris' birthday was last Wednesday, which coincidentally was the Fall Homeschool Day at Chimney Rock State Park. Chris decided to take a well-deserved day off work so he could take John and Mary to the park for the day. Five months pregnant and caring for a one-year-old, I knew I should stay home. Chris' special day seemed suspiciously like a gift for me since I had an entire day to myself, caring only for Margaret: I finished making the children's All Saints' costumes, read books, and watched television!
Radical Raptors
What makes a bird a raptor? Birds of prey have fascinated people for centuries and often been the origin of great tales. Your students will love discovering traits of these fascinating animals!
Skins, Skulls, Tracks & Traces
Bobcats, bears, owls, rattlesnakes and bats are just some of the animals that roam, slither or soar their way through Chimney Rock and Western North Carolina. Seeing these critters may be rare, but we know they’re here from the traces they leave behind.
Basically Bats
Over a dozen species of bats can be found in Western North Carolina during different parts of the year. These winged mammals can often be misunderstood and lack appreciation! Learn what makes the creatures so amazing and the important roles they play in our ecosystem.

Chimney Rock is two hours from our house, so I drove part way and met the rest of the family at a restaurant for a birthday dinner.
Happy Birthday to Chris! What a wonderful way to spend his Birthday--with his family. The Chimney Rock Homeschool Day looked really fun! Wish Josh could have joined Chris up there. It would have been fun for him.
