Busch Gardens

Denise and I went to Busch Gardens Saturday as part of a company outing, Denise and I love Busch Gardens just for the animals. We don't do rides except the Sky Ride and Train.

Part of the outing was at night so couldn't see many of the animals, but they had different animal handlers as we walked about, we saw a armadillo, owl and a Boa(snake).

The owl was being camera shy, but Denise took a hundred photos of it, I took one, here it is.

Due to some relatives not liking snakes, I wont post them. (Nick)

The Orangutans were having a blast, first i seen them this active. Usually just sitting around in the shade.

 The Merkats caught a Minion, Was not good for the minion.

 Gators were out enjoying the sun as well, the turtle felt safe enough to soak up some rays also.

Eternal Vision at New Hope Wesleyan

Went to a concert service at New Hope today, Eternal Vision was doing the service, we had seen them at the Fall Festival here and wasn't gonna miss them.

You can visit there  web site here Eternal Vision.

Words cant express the feeling of Faith and Happiness you get from listening to these guys. Thanks Pastor Eleanor.

New Hopes Cowboy Church and Chili Cook-off

Another fun and inspiring day in Hudson, FL at New Hope Wesleyan Church. Great seeing our friends Eleanor and Rodney Ladd, and all the other folks from other churches coming together for a great night of fellowship and CHILI.

Denises chili took top prize for the Most Zesty Chili. Yeah Honey!!!!!

Over a dozen different chilis and only a couple of hours to eat as much as I can, Mission accomplished :)

The day started off great with Steve Hopper telling his story and testimony that lead him to Jesus. If you get a chance to go to a event with Steve, I highly recommend it. Will put a link for him at the end of this blog post.

Was nice seeing a lot of PPWC members helping support their former Pastor here at New Hope.

6th Floor Museum and Dallas Holocaust Museum

Denise and I explored Dallas today and visited the 6th Floor Museum and The holocaust Museum, lots of death.

6th Floor was very interesting and informative, from pictures and actually looking over the route JFK took from Oswalds perspective and relalizing the longest shot was under 100 yards.  Not a tough shot for anyone with a small amount of training.

Looked up at Oswalds perch from the roadway , little eerie considering what happened there.

They had a Mosaic portrait of JFk and one of Jackie, each made out of thousands of small photos of the other.
