Beach Bound Day 1- The Ark

Jon (and maybe Scott) would go West every year if he had his way.  This year however, he took one for the team, and we all went down South.  The vacation took a little more thought this year since we now have a "zoo" as Jon calls it.  Thankfully, Jon's parents took care of the cats and my parents took care of the dog.  After our week away, I think all four can probably say that they have no interest in getting a pet for their own homes in the near future!:) 

Our first stop was The Ark in Kentucky.  We were all shocked to see the size when we pulled into the parking lot.  Very impressive displays!  It is a powerful way to hopefully bring more people to Christ and explain creation.  Despite the HOT weather, the kids favorite part was the outside zoo.  They saw and rode a camel for the first time- which they would tell you was the highlight of Ark Day. 

 Waldo came along for the trip.  Can you find him?!

Hotel pools are always the big prize at the end of the day.
