Fall Days

By: Erin

Since our leaves don't change color down here in Georgia, this past fall has been a fun season as we've been able to go up north at the peak of color.  Being from Virginia, we really miss seeing the vibrant colors of fall.  God has blessed us with beautiful weather this fall, and we are excited to be heading into the cooler season!  Below are pictures of our adventures this fall.

Our county had it's annual Salzburger Festival (The Salzburgers came from Germany to be able to worship God freely and founded the area where we live).  In this picture we are in Jerusalem Lutheran Church, the oldest Lutheran church in America.

First day back to school party!

Daffodil is watching the turtles-something she shouldn't be doing!

A baby goat, Space.

The sky on cool days is always so pretty!  God is an amazing artist!

Life Chain Sunday.

        We were blessed to be able to meet Dr. S. M. Davis and his wife at a family conference.

This is one of the many historic houses in Savannah (and one we hadn't been to yet), so we took a field trip there with our home school group.

The piano in the parlor was beautiful!

Afterwards, we headed to Leopold's Ice Cream Shop.  Our first visit to this famous shop!

We had gotten matching T-shirts from the organization I volunteer for, The Cloud Foundation. My miniature horse, Cloud, was named after the wild horse the foundation was named after.

For the past couple of years, we have packed shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child/Samaritan's Purse.  This year we were able to hear a woman who had received a shoe box give her testimony at a nearby church.  Livia grew up in an orphanage in Romania where Samaritan's Purse delivers shoe boxes.  She was then adopted by a volunteer from Samaritan's Purse.

After going on a tour at Dad's work, we drove through our local wildlife refuge.  If you zoom up close on the picture above, you can see an alligator.

It was a beautiful day at the refuge!

We recently found these adorable mushrooms on our property!

We hold church services at a local assisted living center and they invited us over for their Thanksgiving Dinner

to the which also ye are called in one body; 

and be ye thankful."
