Race Cars & Raptors
Today I took the kids to the Joe Gibbs Racing headquarters and to the Carolina Raptor Center. They were SO excited to see the race cars of our favorite drivers being built, again
and I actually got a Joe Gibbs autograph (he'd been in earlier, signed a few cards for people, & left them at the front desk) so of course, I was over the moon, too. :-) What an amazing and bold man of faith he is! (I can't wait for JB to read his Game Plan for Life book; it's packed in some moving box right now - argh!) ♫♪Hail to the Redskins!♪♫
We then headed over to the Carolina Raptor Center, also in Huntersville, for their awesome 3/4 mile nature walk through their outdoor aviaries. Here's the map & details. It was gorgeous, and the surprise hit of the tour was not the 6 massive bald eagles...but the common barn owl. They were excited to see a "Moonface" like on Zoboomafoo in person. :-)

ReplyDeleteI am ALL ABOUT doing as much fun stuff as possible, since the kids are missing their last month & a half of school. I don't want the "I'm bored!" song & dance to start this early! :-P Plus, there are so many wonderful things we want to do every time we come down, and for the first time, we actually have the time to do them!!! :-) This has been the biggest blessing!!!
