Nature Night - Keepers

Back in November the Keepers club hosted an event they called "Nature Night".

Everyone from church was invited to attend.

 

Every member chose something out of the Footsteps of the Prophet coloring book that had to do with Nature. 

 Elainah chose the Saguaro cactus.



 

Abigail chose "Color"

Greeters :)

They all recited Psalms 148 before they each gave their presentation.

Bethany's speech had us all laughing :) She did a great job telling us about horses!

 



Joanna chose Corn



Mommy cut out a cardboard saguaro cactus and David helped Elainah paint it green.  They stuck toothpicks all around the sides for spines and during her speech Joshua stuck items on the cactus as she talked about them.



Lincoln's presentation was on Mountains.

 

He had a cool pop quiz about Mountains on his board.  How well did you do? :)

 



Joshua chose Dogs.

 

Joy's presentation was about Berries.

 

Elizabeth chose Trees.

Faith's was on Eagles.

 

Each family brought a snack to share with everyone. 

Elainah and mommy made cactus cupcakes :)

 

 

Psalm 148

Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise Him in the heights.

Praise ye Him, all His angels: praise ye Him, all His hosts.

Praise ye Him, sun and moon: praise Him, all ye stars of light.

Praise Him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.

Let them praise the name of the Lord: for He commanded, and they were created.

He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: He hath made a decree which shall not pass.

Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:

Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling his word:

Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:

Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:

Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:

Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:

Let them praise the name of the Lord: for His name alone is excellent; His glory is above the earth and heaven.

He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all His saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto Him.

Praise ye the Lord

:: Picking Oranges ::

Wednesday morning we left St. Joseph's State Park and drove to the Lake Louise State Park just outside Orlando. 

We still had one more stop before we left the sunny state of Florida...

 

A few years ago when we were in the Orlando area we stopped at this organic orchard on the side of the road.  Mom wanted to stop here again before we left so we could take some Florida oranges home.



Going to pick our oranges...

Juggling in the orchard :)

The best oranges are at the top!

Daddy at the top of the ladder picking oranges and throwing them down to me to put in the bag!

Lilly's in the lake... they also saw two alligators

 

Everyone flew home to Pennsylvania on Thursday morning except Dad and I :)  I flew to Arizona for the weekend and Daddy returned the motorhome and flew home later that day.  The trip to Florida was very fun... lots of memories made and fun times with friends!

St. Joseph State Park

Monday we drove to St. Joseph's State Park and spent the day on the beach.

 

 

The park where we stayed was starting controlled fires to burn out the underbrush

 

The park is on a little peninsula that juts out near the gulf of Mexico on the panhandle of Florida.  We walked over from the ocean side of the beach to the bay side where Daddy, Joshua, David, and Hope walked out to find sea urchins.  They are little specks way out there but the water is only up to their ankles!!



We took some family pictures in the evening :)

 

 

and our new blog header :)
