Creation Museum - Summer Visit

On Friday, we made our annual summer trip to the Creation Museum - with our dear friends (Jason & Lori and their 3 girls).
Simply put - we had a blast!!!!!
Here is our day. . .

Peter, Henry, Marli, Ben, the Angel, Bailey and Darcy
"Are we really going to make it through this place with 7 kids???"

The Angel is thinking about joining the coal mine industry.

"But will I get dirty?"

Our family enjoying the Garden of Eden.

"Peter look up. Peter. Peter. " *click*

"Never mind."

"Children be very quiet, there is a dinosaur right behind you."

The Angel

Ben's encounter with a dinosaur.

"Big, scary dinosaur, I know you just killed your young, but please don't hurt me. I am really skinny and have no meat on my bones. You wouldn't enjoy me at all."

Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I have come to that conclusion that compared to Adam and Eve, I am a BIG WIMP!!!

Waiting for the movie to start.

Lori: "I just love that movie."

Jason: "I almost fell asleep."

Lori: "You are just resting in the LORD."

Crossing the bridge to the beautiful gardens.

Me: "Kids, wait!!"

Kids: "What??"

Me: "Kids, come back!"

Kids: "What??"

Me: "Kids, stop!"

Kids: "What?? "

Me: "Nevermind."

One of the many ponds.

"Look mom, we are fishing!"

Dinner time!!

Marli: "Can I have Ben's fruit?"

Lori: "No, you have your own fruit."

Ben: "Can I have Marli's fruit?"

Me: "No, you have your own fruit."

Genesis1:11-12 Then God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation: plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after their kind with seed in them"; and it was so. The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit iwth seed in them, after their kind; and God saw that it was good."

At the petting zoo.

Ben: "Mom, can I have a pet sheep?"

Me: "No."

Ben: "Mom, can I have a pet camel?"

Me: "No."

Ben: "Mom, can I have a pet dog?"

Me: "No."

Ben: "Fish?"

Me: "No."

Ben: "Crab?"

Me: "No. But you may have a pet rock."

Ben: "Alright!"

The Angel: "Mmm, I wonder what pet food tastes like?"

Washing the animal slobber from their hands.

Peter cooling off. (It looks like the hose is a snake.)

Darcy & Ben: "come out little animal, we won't hurt you."

A great day with great friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On our way out this happened. . .

Jason: "Oh man, what was that noise?"

Lori: "I don't know."

Jason: " Oh look, there is our bumper hanging off our van."

Pete: "Need help?"

Jason: "Got rope???"

They made it home safely and Pete is looking into a new career as an emergency car repair man.
