I posted all about our visit to the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter but I didn’t want to completely overwhelm the posts with pictures. So here we are. Time to share the pictures that didn’t make the cut!

Ark Encounter Pictures

I know I said it already, but the size of the ark was just unreal in person. So, so cool!

This was one of the exhibits on the first deck of the ark. It was a speculation of how Noah would have taken care of reptiles and amphibians.

An inside look at the decks of the ark. I believe I read that the project of building the replica of the ark from start to finish took about six years.

We were able to see a large portion of a decommissioned Torah scroll. This section was the Pentateuch, which is the first five books of the Hebrew Bible.

Me and my favorite little girl at the Ararat Ridge Zoo. There were animals there that I had literally never even heard of!

Just living my best life petting a goat named Shadrach.

My little buddy standing at the playground. He’s growing up too fast!

Sadie hanging out on a camel structure at the playground.

Another cool structure at the playground!

Sadie and I rode the carousel together. I will spare you the picture of me on a carousel camel 😜

Mordecai was so well behaved all day. He loved taking everything in. He finally gave in to sleep at the end of the day and it was so sweet seeing him crashed out in Jimmy’s arms.

Creation Museum Pictures

Sadie leading my dad around the Creation Museum. It’s the best seeing my children with my parents. They all adore each other and it makes my soul so happy.

Sadie was doing what she likes to call a “ballerina move” at the botanical gardens while eating a chocolate covered marshmallow. She’s one cool chick.

Sadie was loving the dinosaur exhibit!

Family photo at the Creation Museum!

Hotel Pictures

We really loved the hotel we stayed at! The hot tub was a big hit with all of us 😊

My mom and dad hung out with Mordecai while the rest of us swam and took a dip in the hot tub. Mordecai was wearing what we call his “ninja pajamas” because they’re all black and he looks like a little ninja 😂

The hotel had a really nice outdoor area with seating and fire pits so we sat around the fire on our last night.

Relaxing by the fire! It was so cozy.

Sadie enjoyed the hotel breakfast each morning! She loved the cereal dispensers and hot cocoa. I took this on our last morning there… right before she accidentally spilled hot cocoa on her leg 😳

Those are all the pictures I have to share! It was such a great trip. I hope to visit again in the future 😊
