After we got back from Canada, Dad and I headed south! It was so nice to escape the cold for a little bit. 🙂 Unfortunately for the rest of the family, they had to endure northern Minnesota winter weather while we gave reports over the phone about the n-i-c-e climate we were experiencing…which only got better the farther south we drove! 🙂
…a snow storm hit at home…
lovin’ it!
Stay tuned for the exciting details!
It is hard to believe it’s been a year already! Some of you may know that our family was blessed with the opportunity to be a part of some gospel meetings in Moose Factory, Ontario, last January. What an incredible trip that was!
Last year around the same time I was taking a multimedia class for school, and one of my assignments was to make a video about…something of interest, I guess, although I don’t remember what all the details of the project were. 🙂 Well, it just happened that we were in Moose Factory when I had to do this, so I decided to put together a video about our trip. This is the semi-original–after watching it a year later we decided it needed some touching up. 🙂
So as we have been doing a little reminiscing about God’s goodness on that trip, we thought you might like to remember this with us!

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1
This verse says it all. God created.
Thanks to some very special people in our lives (you know who you are :)), our family was thrilled to have the opportunity to go to the Creation Museum in Kentucky! We were there for two days (for a total of approximately nine hours).
Reflecting…
The LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. And out of the ground the LORD God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Genesis 2:8-9
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. …Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. Genesis 1:27, 31
We loved the dinosaurs…lots of dinosaurs!
It was a privilege to meet Noah after hearing so much about him!
The Noah quiz inside the ark was fun…yes, even for the older ones. 🙂
Jonathan watches the Flood on a TV; Mom puts together a puzzle of the Ark; Abby plays Noah games
all finished! (Mom loves puzzles!)
Somewhere in between everything we made time to go to the special effects theater, the planetarium, and a Buddy Davis concert!
It was rather cold and rainy and windy–but Sara and Jonathan braved the elements to go to the petting zoo in our semi-final moments at the museum. They had planned to come back inside in time to join the rest of us before the museum closed, but the doors locked and they were stuck outside…until a friendly museum-leaver held the door open for them.
For those of you who haven’t seen a camel up close…
amazing creature!
You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created. Revelation 4:11
We are so grateful that we were able to go, not just because it was so fun, but because it was so exciting to see things that support the Biblical account of creation. What a joy to spend hours at a museum that is there to bring God glory and is very educational, high-quality, and biblically based!
I bought a t-shirt that says, “God created and I believe.”
Do you?
