Quotes of Note

You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010

"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"

"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

End of School Activities - Part Uno - Zoo Trip

.

We pack the last couple of weeks of school full of all kinds of field trips and special activities. This is the first of several posts about these fun days.

Junior Highers at the zoo.

Waiting for the dolphin show.

Everyone wants their picture taken.

Well, everyone but CALEB - - - who keeps putting his head down so all we can see is his orange hat.

Even the big kids - - -

Love the zoo.

Smiles all around.

The dolphin show begins.

Such beautiful, graceful mammals.

What have we here???? I believe they are the greater and lesser "Big Eyes."

The monkeys are loving their habitat!!!

The teachers take a much needed rest.
