Creation Museum

We took a trip to the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky as part of our Spring Break 2010. The museum website says that it "brings the pages of the Bible to life", and it really does. We were literally able to walk our children through scripture. I think the girls especially enjoyed the Garden of Eden and Noah's Ark construction site. After we were finished inside the museum, we ventured out to walk through the beautiful botanical gardens and check out the petting zoo. We were able to see a zorse (zebra/horse) and a zonkey (zebra/donkey). I didn't even know such things existed! The museum was another great opportunity to show our kids science and history presented from a Biblical viewpoint. And I think I can safely say that everyone enjoyed themselves!

Kindergarten Christmas Quotes

Sophie's Kindergarten class has assignments periodically where the children have to tell mom or dad a story, then we write it out verbatim and turn it in. The stories are then printed out, put in a binder, and each child gets the chance to take it home to show their family. We finally got to read the stories in the "Christmas Through Our Eyes" binder. Here are some of my favorite quotes:

"The wise men brought gold, Frankenstein, and myrrh."

"Mary and Joseph had to travel. They had to travel 15 hours."

"All of a sudden the baby was born."

"The wise men came and gave prizes to baby Jesus."
