Birds of Prey Photo Shoot

 

Yesterday we went on a birds of prey photo shoot along with other members of the York County Camera Club. 

In Virginia

Last Tuesday we went along with Dad to his job in Norfolk Virginia. On the way we saw a naval base along with some carriers that were parked along the side.

We also saw another huge ship but we didn't quite know what it was.

It was kind of neat going into a tunnel underneath the bay.

We also drove by a really cool building.

Feild Trip to Washington D.C.

Last Monday

The Lincoln Memorial was a lot more grand inside then I thought, and the statue of Lincoln was also very large.

The Washington Monument looked very large even from a distance.

I was surprised at how many planes flew over the Lincoln Memorial.

The Vietnam War Memorial,

and the Korean War Memorial.

We also saw the White House while there were protesters down the street chanting and yelling the President's name.

Later we went to my favorite part, the Air And Space Museum.

Another Visit To The Science Factory

This morning we woke to one last light snow fall.

As a part of our school we sometimes play some Scrabble.

Today we went back to the Science Factory in Lancaster.
When we went in we saw an exhibit that we hadn't seen before. Apparently it was a bowl of dancing water that the Chinese used for...something. (Click here to see a cool demonstration.)

Here are some of the Knex structures from the Factory.

A roller coaster.

The point of this exhibit is to dam up the water with mettle blocks.

Flower Show

Matthew 6:29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Today we went to the flower show in York at the York Fairgrounds, and it definitely included flowers!

I was amazed at how beautiful the flowers could grow to be.
