Summers Ending

We have been very busy the last couple of weeks. I will try to give you an extreme short version of what we have been doing. On July 28 we went to the Creation Museum. It was an experience to say the least. The museum itself was very interesting and educational. This is a wonderful opportunity for someone who doesn't know anything about God or about Creation. The only problem I had was how extremely crowded it was. There was so many people you couldn't even turn around without bumping into someone. I guess this is a good thing because people are learning about God's Creation but if you have plans to go I would encourage you to go during the week or next year sometime when it isn't so new. Matt heard someone mention 10,000 people being there. He said he wasn't sure they meant the day we were there or 10,000 for the whole week. It sure felt like there was 10,000 people there that day. Don't get me wrong it is a wonderful thing just too crowded.
For those of you who have children this is an excellent opportunity to discuss dinosaurs. At least it was for me. As we were walking through the dinosaur exhibit Cody had heard or been taught that dinosaurs lived on earth before man and they all died from an atomic boom. I got the opportunity to discuss the Biblical perspective on dinosaurs with him. I thought that because he was so young and we had him in a Christian school he wouldn't have heard that kind of stuff yet. I guess I thought wrong but this was a wonderful time to discuss it with him.

I had a friend tell me last night, they (the museum) only expected 100,000 the first year in business and they are up to over 250,000 already (in just a few months of being open). WOW! It sure is a BIG hit, glad you got to experience it already.

We're dying to go, but everyone who has been there has mentioned the giant crowd, so I think we'll pick a nice, boring Tuesday and hope there are only 5,000 people that day.

Janiece, I'm really glad we got to go also. It was nice to do something with my parents.

Angie, A boring Tuesday may be good I don't know. But I can tell you a Saturday is definetly not good. LOL Bobbie
