creation museum

thankfully our church got a group rate to go the creation museum in ohio. we were very excited. we have wanted to go since
we heard the construction was completed.the time, thought, and money that went into this place blew me away.

it was very thorough and impressive.it took the story through creation, including the story of
adam and eve, leading to the fall of man.there was a whole wing devoted to adam and eve that was so
beautiful and thought provoking. there was also a wing involving
God's judgement on the worlds sin, and his justice through noah.i absolutely loved all the wax sculptures. there was a section talking about
the history and validity of scripture. here are isaiah and moses. beautiful, huh?outside of the museum were a whole other world. here are matt and sarah (who
joined us for the day and made it that much more fun) in the botanical gardens.
the gardens seemed to go on forever.

they also had a petting zoo. it was sweltering outside
but we had such a good time exploring!

the campbell soup visits kentucky

beth chad and noah decided to make a trip to kentucky to visit chads grandma. we of course benefited from that trip and got to see them for a weekend.

chad has settled in marvelously to being "daddy".

we went to joseph beth, ate at the chinese buffet, and just had a great time.

i couldnt believe how noah had changed. he is constantly growing out of clothes and even thinking of picking up walking. he cracks up when mommy tickles him
and has developed a fondness of red.

beth has been working really hard and looks amazing.

she has also changed so much since i saw her last.
she is looking even more beautiful than usual.
i'm really proud of her.its always so good to see loved ones. and so sad when they leave.
but we were very blessed to have a couple of days with the campbells.

day at the contemporary

one friday in june we decided to take a small trip to cincinnati ohio 

to go to the contemporary.

there were a lot of great exhibits there but our 

favorite part was the interactive level. 

daniel powered a city by bicycle.

i conducted an orchestra, followed by applause, of course.

we just had such a great time being together, enjoying the things we enjoy.

daniel and pk, a match made in heaven

daniel decided to pick up a new hobby and restore a '82 italian vespa pk 50 scooter(affectionately named pk). he is having so much fun pulling it apart, figuring out what's wrong and putting it back together. luckily, once pk reaches his full capacity, we will save quite a lot on gas! take that gas crisis! daniel is loving it!
