Creation Museum Trip

This past Friday morning we left at 4:30 am for AIG's Creation Museum and our final destination, ITC. The Creation Museum was really neat (excepting the lines as long as the ones at amusement parks because some people try to read every word ever written on a display! : )) My absolute favorite part was the planetarium. You get an incredible idea of how infinitely huge the universe and how insignifigant this one planet is in all the vastness....What is man that Thou art mindful of him? You can also feel really sick because you literally feel like your spinning through space. I would post pictures of it if I hadn't obeyed the guide and not taken pictures! Misha thought it was really incredible too, and this is a picture of him with his "Uncle Lucy".



SWEET Dino!


My wonderful parents. Why in the world my mom is on the cell phone when she has such a great guy to talk to I have no idea! Love you Dad and Mom.


Their landscaped grounds, trails, and ponds were just beautiful even in spite of the 90 degree weather. This is my friend Sara and I in front of some of their gigatuone lily pads. (Sara and her brother Skyler went with us and we all had so much fun. )

Summer Update:

We had a nice time on our Yellow Bicycle adventure. The tandem was the best. Kate didn't like my wobbling stearing, but it was sure memorable


Dad, Mom, and adorable Anna (that's my niece) on their surrey ride. The surrey was quaint and cute, but not very fast. You had to peddle twice as hard to keep up with a regular bike.


And then there was the great visit from Rachel! We had such a nice time together. Feeding calves has never been such an adventure. Rachel kept me laughing so much...for those who know her just ask her about it (her adventure with the ruptured, gysering milk line and the possesed bantam chicken, and feeding the dumbest calves. : ) ) Good memories.


How cute....Misha and Rachel.



These are some pictures from our little vacation to the lake in our backyard (only and hour away.) Lake Erie is pretty and it's even better because its part of what I call home. We went on a boat tour and saw the usuals...lighthouses, boats, shoreline, and water if you'd believe it. The best and very short part of the tour was the very choppy water on the open lake, but the driver (No I guess he's called the captain) thought we weren't enjoying it so we went back to the flat-as-a-pond bay. Next time I want to ride with someone who appreciates the adventures of the open seas!



Pirate ships still sail these waters........The beautiful brig Niagra, next summer I'm going to spend a night on that ship....Anyone want to come along? Seriously you can pay $60 for a night on the Niagra and rigging lessons to boot!


Lady Kate with Sister Kate (and little niece cute-as-a-button Becka). Kate was my commrade this day as she helped nurse me back to health, shall we say. We were running along the surf when I stepped on a broken shell, no big deal. Pull it out and keep going. On the ride from the car to the washrooms though I lost way more blood than is normal and as we walked back the sidewalk it was kinda suprising to see a little trail I'd left behind from my "little" cut. Kate helped get it all cleaned up though and I hobbled around for about a week, and now it's all good. Those midwives know everything, Thanks Kate!
