Family, Fun, and More Traveling

The adventure continues. If you thought we were going to get to settle down and relax a little bit, you were wrong. We got home Saturday night, the 26th and left the 30th. Before we left Pennsylvania, we headed to 7 Springs for a little fun with my mom. 7 Springs is a ski resort, but in the summer they've got an alpine slide. My mom found some tickets from years ago that were still good and so we were going to have a great time riding the slide a couple times.


Notice I said were. It was an okay day until we got on the ski lift to get to the top of the mountain. We're stuck on the lift and it begins pouring! As soon as the lift reached the top we jumped off and ran into a shed for cover. Sadly, when the track is wet, they can't run it because of hydroplaning (not good when you're in a concrete tube going super fast down the mountain, trust me). They took us down in a shuttle and we never did get to ride it, oh well.

Yes, I photoshopped this one. I couldn't stop and get out here.

Wednesday, we were off to Sandusky, Ohio. Thursday we spent all day at Cedar Point, the roller coaster capital of the world, with my mom and my aunt. It, too, was scheduled to rain most of the afternoon and it didn't look good, but a lot of praying was answered with a perfect day by the time the park opened.


Perfect in that there was no rain and the sun poked out a bit, not so perfect in that it was 58 degrees. Especially when you consider that the coasters ran at 60+ mph, the wind made it substantially colder. But it was still a great day.


Friday, we headed to Hebron, Kentucky for Answers in Genesis's Creation Museum. You can read my other blog post at Media Missions to learn more about some of the amazing design in the museum. The museum was great. We spent two days there, and this was sort of our Anniversary trip. Our anniversary in Monday, June 4th, but we'll be taking a doctrines test, going through screening, and being presented before the BIMI board of trustees. They tell us it's the most stressful and pressured day of the week. Whoopee! Happy Anniversary!

The museum is definitely a must visit for any church group. We met up with a pastor friend of mine who had brought 28 people from his church. Now that's a big group! They've got information about dinosaurs, Creation, the fall of man, Noah's Flood, the Ark, and much more. It's a must see! Did I say that already?

Anyway, we're at BIMI, Baptist International Missions Inc., gearing up for an intense week of training. We'll see you when it's over!
