I do more than hike...

Early this morning these 4 ladies left the church parking lot for the Creation Museum in Cincinnati. What fun we had! The day passed so quickly. If you have not been to the Creation Museum then you need to plan to go. It is a wonderful family place but I am not sure young children would get much out of it. The museum's theme is centered around these 7 eternal principles: Creation, Corruption, Catastrophe, Confusion, Christ, Cross, and Consummation. There is a mix of display, animation, audio presentation, video presentation, etc. Very well done. At the end you see a video presentation about the Last Adam, a very clear presentation of the Gospel. It is nice too in that you can take pictures anywhere except during the videop presentations. I am attaching a scene of the Adam and Eve family after the Corruption (Fall).

The planetarium show was also excellent. I kept thinking of the verse-What is man, that thou art mindful of him? A very humbling experience when use see how the earth is such a small piece of God's expansive heavens. How anyone can not believe God exists is beyond me. The universe could not have just happened. It was cute in one place they had a small area that was not developed yet and the sign said"This space is still evolving"! Nothing like poking fun at the evolutionists.


The botanical gardens were beautiful! And the water lilies and water falls. Wow. My only disappointment was that their were no tags identifying the names of the plants. Here are a couple of shots.



And of course I found a new "beau". It seems I find one every where I go!

What fun! We haven't been there yet either. Glad you ladies had such a fun day! (I saw some cars at the church and thought someone was car pooling to St F. again today!)

Boy, that looks like "trouble" waiting to happen! :) :) We took the school there, but my little ones really didn't get too much out of it! There are definitely some awesome displays there! I love the ark...
