We were all so excited! After leaving Tennessee, we headed 5 hours north to get there.
My sister and I's families
(They bought this whole vacation for us! What a blessing!!!)
As soon as we walked in, a man was in the lobby with a real-live snake to pet and hold...
My boys were so enthralled!...Well until it got a little TOO close!
Then they got to touch a real dinosaur fossil found in Montana!
We were there 30 minutes and Trusten said it was the best place he's ever visited! :)
Learning how they dig up fossils...very carefully!
The kiddos
First he really wanted this picture...but then when I stepped back to take it, he changed his mind!
Learning about the creation of the universe (and Man's wisdom compared to God's wisdom)
Daddy teaching them about the 7 C's of History
(Creation, Corruption (the fall), Catastrophe (the flood), Confusion (tower of Babel),
Christ, Cross, Consummation)
"Meeting" and hearing from men in the Bible
I love this picture! Praise the Lord for Truth...and my Blessings!
Now to the Garden of Eden!
(Samuel was little unsure of what that bear wanted...)
Adam is naming the animals behind us!
Inside the ark!!
Smaller replica
The people perishing
(Trusten was amazed at how tiny the people were...I was too!)
Noah's family, after the ark landed on ground, they worshiped and made an alter to the Lord
Then it was on to the DINOSAURS!!!
We had such a great time! It was so neat to see these stories we've repeated to the boys so many times, displayed in such a real way!
How encouraging to be able to take your family to a place where everything you've been teaching them and trying to pass onto them is reiterated and reinforced through sight, sound, touch and feel!
As adults, there were several times we were ALL moved to tears at the power of the Word, the strength and perseverance of our past fathers and the wonder of God's creation and his infinite wisdom in it all!
We look forward to returning again when the boys are older and can get some of the deeper concepts taught throughout the Creation Museum! (I wonder how many kiddos we'll have then?!?!) :)
