Our Trip to New England

Well, friends, Happy Thursday! In just two short weeks, it will be Thanksgiving Day! It really doesn't seem possible that we are already into November!

A few weeks ago, our family had the great privilege to travel to the New England area. Can I say "WOW!" Hubbie and I had been to New York before, but never any further north. We had such a great time! The children did so well in the car...but anytime we take a road trip, they are all for it! :)

I'll leave you with some of our memories...

~Tuesday--Minute Man National Park, Concord, Massachusetts~

 ~approximate site of the capture of Paul Revere~

 ~taking the oath to receive their "Junior Ranger" badges~

 ~the famous "North Bridge"~

 ~Wednesday and Friday were spent in Boston~

 ~Thursday--driving through Vermont, New Hampshire and spent the night in Maine!~

 ~now we are in New Hampshire~

This is not all we did or saw, but it is all the time I have for blogging today. :)  I will share more at a later time.

Tomorrow is a special day~our baby turns 3!

The Creation Museum~Part 2

Good morning! Thank you for stopping by! A few of you mentioned that you had never heard of The Creation Museum...Here are just a few quick facts:

• opened in 2007
• just southwest of Cincinnati, Ohio
• 70,000 square foot building
• Ken Ham, founder of Answers in Genesis, built the museum
• over 6,000 plants have been placed within the lake
• 500 different varieties of plants in the gardens
• visit the museum website for more information

As promised, here a few pictures of the nature trail and the petting zoo. Hubbie snapped over 400 pictures...but I won't put that many up here.   :)

The Creation Museum~Part 1

Today, I am so thankful that we had the opportunity to visit the Creation Museum. What an uplifting, inspiring, faith-affirming, God-honoring place! I honestly did not know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. It was so nice to go to a science museum and have the truth presented in such a beautiful way!

The entire museum is based on God's Word. Here are just a few pictures from our visit. The museum is in Petersburg, Kentucky, just southwest of Cincinnati, Ohio. We had a very nice visit, and hope to return there very soon!
