Howdy,
We hope this entry finds all of our family and friends doing well.... A lot has happened in the past few days - here is the scoop on our latest adventures.... The Creation Museum is located in Northern Kentucky and is bordered by Indiana and Ohio. It was one stop that we really wanted to visit - so many of our friends have visited and said it is "a must see".... The museum uses the Seven C's to illustrate God's eternal plan. These are the pivotal events from the beginning to the end of time. They are Creation (God created a perfect creation), Corruption (Adam and Eve disobeyed God), Catastrophe (Noah and the Ark), Confusion (Tower of Babel), Christ (Jesus was born), Cross (Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for mankind's sins against God), and Consummation (God will come again). The boys enjoyed the many dinosaur exhibits including fossilized eggs to help explain biblical history. They had a wonderful construction zone of Noah's Ark with several interactive exhibits. We have studied Creation throughout our home school years but we felt the kids received so much extra knowledge that will stay with them and help them when others have questions. We enjoyed a talk titled - Is Genesis Relevant Today? The woman who spoke is a Molecular Biologist and she did an terrific job explaining the simple truth of God's creation. They have an amazing planetarium where we watched two shows about planets and the solar system. Outside they have a beautiful lush tropical garden with streams and bridges and a petting zoo with many of the animals being from Australia. A special treat for the kids was taking a ride on a one hump camel named Gomer!
Tuesday night we decided to catch a Cincinnati Reds game. We had a great time! We also had the chance to see the newest addition to Major League Baseball - Aroldis Chapman. He is a young man from Cuba, who has been clocked at throwing a 105 mph fastball!!!! It was his Major League debut, and he pitched just one inning - the 8th. He threw several pitches in the 100-102 mph range. It was awesome!
We miss our family and friends and talk about you often - in a good way! Our time together as a family has been fun, and we can't wait to see what is around the next turn....
May God richly bless you!

Also, we wanted to mention that on our way to the Creation Museum, we made a "pit stop" in Indianapolis and went the the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. How cool! Though we were not able to get on the track, we could get super close. We also spend some time at the Museum at the Speedway, and it was spectacular! Most of the winning cars from the Indy races -old and new - were on display. It brought back many memories for me (Eric) as it was the tradition for my dad and me to watch the races together....

Hi Guys, Looks like alot of fun. We miss you too!! Unreal trip, you have alot of energy. Looking forward to reading about your next adventure!! Love you
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I love that about the seven 'C's and the museum - I never knew about the museum. Have you heard of Louie Giglio? He & Chris Tomlin did an Indescrible Tour about how big our God is and his creation of the universe and how small we are!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are having an amazing trip that you will talk about for many, many years.
ReplyDeleteI had the privilege of playing in the band during the Indy pre-race show in 1958 and got to see the entire race up close. Eric, I never knew you were a fan. I, too, watch the race every year. That year 11 cars wiped out on the first turn!
Hi All,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you're having a great time. I'm glad Nancy had a graceful fall off Sadie as it could have been much worse like you said. Lisa Ann says that you should have a big party and show all your pictures after you return so we can hear the stories.
Hi Kevin - I miss you in Geography Class. I learned how they make maple syrup and had some in class. I hope you're doing well. Your friend, Barrett.
Love, the Kochers
