Summer Fun!

Cumberland Falls, KY.

If you haven't had a chance to stop by there, I highly recommend you find the time.

Absolutely gorgeous!

DH and I had an awesome time with five, recent HS graduates.

Our first night was spent here.

The five young people below are heading to college this fall. They are obviously, the cream of the crop! Two of the young ladies will be playing college basketball this next year. The other is majoring in Physical Therapy. One of the young men is planning on the mission field in sports ministry and the other is planning a career in medicine. How blessed those college campuses will be to have them. It is exciting to see what God has planned for their lives!

God Bless all of you!

Moonbow!

Have you ever heard of such a thing?

There are only two places in the world this phenomenon occurs, one is in Africa, the other, Cumberland Falls, KY.

If you read the information on the board below, you realize that conditions must be perfect in order for this to occur. Yes, it happened while we were there!

We were told by the waitress to go around 11:15 p.m. We thought that was a little late, but nonetheless we decided it would be a small sacrifice. The moon didn't arrive until after midnight. It was almost 12:30 a.m. before the bow appeared.

While the moonbow was amazing, I was more amazed with how many people were there to see it. I saw people with strollers, walkers and canes. I estimate there were over 200 people gathered around that falls in the darkest of the night, waiting for the moon to come over the mountain. Yes, I took a picture, then accidently deleted it. UGH!

Oh well. See it I did.

We were too close to the original KFC to not stop for lunch.

This is now a national historic site.

On Tuesday, we went to Roan Mountain.

Notice the beautiful flowers? They are rhododendrons and grow naturally on Roan Mountain.

Each year they have a festival to showcase the beautiful mountain. The picture does not do it justice.

Dad and P.

We had so much fun! It was nice to be with them.

Dad and DH trucked up a mountain to see the opening of an ore mine. P. and I enjoyed the rocking chairs on the porch upon meeting a lady hiker who informed us that it was a very rough trail. We chose wisely! LOL
I hope you are enjoying your summer days!

XOXO
