We made 2 trips there. The first one was Tuesday and it was supposed to be an extended family outing. Okay, that didn't happen (not naming any names here because you already know who you are; and that means all of you), but Pastor Dad, little Fen, and I went anyway.
[First picture that you won't see because we can't get it uploaded from Pastor Dad's Blackberry. Hmph.]
This is Fen "feeding" the animals at the petting zoo. Actually, he was quite content to let his Grandad feed the animals. He wasn't sure he wanted his hands anywhere near those large mouths! Can't say that I blame him.
Since it was such a hot day we only stayed outside for a few minutes. Once inside we attended a concert by Buddy Davis. We stayed in the back since Fen isn't quite ready to sit in a theater (or anywhere for that matter!) for about an hour. Instead, he amused the other stroller-toting families and wheelchair-bound folks in the accessible area with his interpretive dance routine. It was a mixture of free-spirit and hoedown. I mean Fen's dance, not the music, although the two weren't so dissimilar. We bought Fen a CD so that he can practice his moves at home.

Really. It is pitch-black. This would be a photo of us, the night-sky, and the telescopes in the parking lot at Answers in Genesis.
We went back last night for an after-hour event called Stargazer's Night. It is a shame that we couldn't take pictures because the night sky was beautiful. There were a few wispy clouds that occasionally came between the planets, star clusters, and nebula that were sighted in one of the three telescopes, but the meteor shower overhead provided enough of a display to keep us all occupied while the equipment was being adjusted elsewhere. It was a pleasant evening and it was spent with the very nice Dr. Jason Lisle and his assistants who patiently answered every question.
Pastor Dad, the Bear, and I drove away quoting Psalm 19: 1 - The Heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament showeth His handiwork.
Love the Creation Museum!
ReplyDeleteLOVED the dance post! :)
I've been watching the night skies around here as well. It's the perfect time to see all the shooting stars
