We’re back as of yesterday morning…. As most of you know, we
left for Cincinnati last Wednesday night. Daddy drove through the night and we arrived right around rush hour.
J Thankfully we were able to check into our hotel early and get the van unloaded. We also visited with some friends who were staying at the same hotel for the conference.
It was a pretty drastic (but fun) change of temperature for us Southerners. The high was like in the teens that day! Brrrr… The snow came down softly as we freshened up and got ready to head over to the
Creation Museum.
We had been to the museum before as you
remember, but we’ve always wanted to go back when it wasn’t so crowded.
Lookin’ above….
….to the giant Mastodon.
Watching the turtles.
Gracie.
Close up.
After going to the “Men in White” show, we waited for the Planetarium showing of the “Christmas Star”. That was neat!
Watching more turtles as we waited.
Gabriel.
We were able to visit with several families we knew who were there for the conference as well.
One thing that was different from our previous visit was that they’d put our name up on the wall.
Here we are under “S”.
All us kids.
Silhouette in front of Mt. St. Helens.
There were many animatronic dinosaurs throughout the museum. Some were majestic looking, while some made you glad they don’t wander in our backyards anymore.
Getting to read everything this time.
Explaining a sign to Gabriel.
Old Testament Prophets.
Amazing detail on these life-like mannequins.
An old copy of the Scriptures.
Walking through…..
….the tunnel of stars.
Picture of a picture.
Bro’s.
“And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so.” ~Genesis 1:24~
Momma and Daddy in the garden before……
…..the fall.
Look, there’s Cain and Abel! See, that’s why you don’t hit your brothers.
Noah looking at part of the ark.
Nehemiah was too young to remember the visit last time, so he thoroughly enjoying seeing everything this time ’round.
Telling Daddy what he’d just seen! It was so funny because if we were sitting watching a video on something, he would answer all the rhetorical questions. LOL!
Up in the dinosaur den.
Innocent Grace doesn’t know what’s going on behind her.
“Stay away from my sister!”
The gals in front of dinosaur skeletons.
The oldest is not always the tallest. J Actually three times last month different peopled guessed my age to be 15. I’ll enjoy that when I get older, I guess.
Riding a…..something horned-creature.
After we finished walking through the museum, Mr. Fritz called and met us in the gift shop with Mrs. Conley and Marty. It was good to see them, plus we were able to let them use our guest passes. Once Daddy got them in, we headed out to find some food.
Daddy took us to Cracker Barrel. Eating out is a treat for us.
Discussing what we’d seen or read at the museum.
Ne-hi.
We’d already received our bill, but were finishing up a conversation before leaving. Then our waitress came to our table, took our bill and said we didn’t need it anymore. We kinda gave her a questioning look and she explained that the elderly couple who’d been sitting across from us paid for our meal. Daddy found them before they left and we all thanked them. They said that they wanted to bless us in the Name of Jesus. Wow! We really did feel blessed. From there we went to the hotel to get our Bibles before heading to conference for the first evening session.
Opening announcements.
The Men’s choral sang “Speak, O Lord”. Beautiful!
Over 2600 people attended.
Alan and his father, Mr. Bret, were part of the choral.
The Fam listening.
The first session was by Scott Brown who was then followed by Doug Phillips.
Visiting with friends during a thirty minute break.
The last session that evening by Ken Ham. If you want more details on what the talks were about, go
here where there were live blog postings.
Looks like ya’ll had fun! Miss you!!!
