Creation Museum

On Friday we took advantage of our proximity to the Creation Musuem. We had been talking about getting the kids there for awhile now with their love of dinosaurs, so it was the perfect opportunity. There was a lot there that we skipped over because they would have to be a bit older to appreciate it, but there were a lot of really cool exhibits that we all enjoyed! Here are a few photos, but you can click here to see the entire album.

(see my scared face? this one was moving and making noise and it really was a bit scary! the only way Riley would get that close is because I was holding him!)

Tons of cool fossils to look at...
LOTS of dinosaurs everywhere...

It was very hot and humid, but we did take a stroll through the botanical gardens and visited the petting zoo.

(a zonkey...they also had a zorse - see album)


After the museum we drove partway home and stopped to get a hotel with a pool. The kids had a blast swimming, and Elijah is a little fish already! He is soooo relaxed in the pool, just like he is at bathtime. We are going to have a great summer in the water!!!

Did you go to the museum in Cincinnati? We've not been there yet, we want the boys to be a little older. Great pictures!!!

Oh my goodness. What a great get away! My kids always think the hotel with the pool is the best part. One day we are just gonna go no where....and stay in a hotel with a pool. I'm glad the dinosaurs didn't scare anyone.
