Dear Raven Hill Discovery Center,
I had loads of fun at Raven Hill. I enjoyed touching the rocks and feeling their textures, and I also enjoyed the glowing stones. While we were there, I was much happier to be there than at school, because I wouldn’t come home with a cool rock of my own if I had been at school. I learned a lot from coming, and we had fun in the playing room (hands-on museum). I do wish I could’ve seen the animals, and that just leaves me wanting to come again. Furthermore, I am so thankful for you guys having us over, and I hope to go again in my lifetime.
