YAH Purpose

The Young at Heart Ministry is for Senior Adults (those past retirement age) in the Dayton, Ohio area. We provide times of fellowship and entertainment during our monthly Luncheons. We also provide the opportunity to see interesting places and things around the area during our monthly Day Trips. Once a year (sometimes more frequently) we offer a longer trip to see areas far from Dayton. All of our programs are designed to be honoring to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Krohn’s Conservqtory–Butterflies

This month our Day Trip was a fun one to Krohn’s Conservatory to see the Butterflies of the Philippines and have a great dining experience at Buca di Beppo in Cincinnati. 21 of our people and our driver made the trek. This month, I was away at the Moody Pastor’s Conference in Chicago, so it was managed by Lisa and Nancy. Alright! I heard that. But, I admit the ladies do a very good job and I could never do this without their help and guiding hands.

Of course, there is always more to see at the conservatory than just butterflies. There are plants of all types and many bright colors.

As you can see, the evidence shows that they arrived a little after 10AM

Inside there are plants of all varieties. Some of these are decked out in beautiful color, and others are exotic! There is even a waterfall!

I can hear the questions, asking “where are the butterflies?”  Actually, they’re often camouflaged and hide in among plants or flowers of blending colors. But, other times they can be coaxed into the open.

Do you see them above? There are several but you can see how they manage to blend in with their environment. The next photos below are much more obvious. I always like to feature our people and also children,

There is so much more to see around the conservatory in Eden Park. Check it out sometime. This is the Elsinore Tower.

Looks a bit like a castle, doesn’t it!

I know some of our people were more excited about our choice of place to eat than the butterflies. This time we went back to Buca di Beppo. Where there is always some very good family style dining in a very unique environment.
