Denver Mini-Vacation

In conjunction with a school training for Phil, we spent a couple of days in Denver doing fun family things. First stop -- DENVER ZOO.



Timothy kept saying, "He's waking up, He's waking up..." Unfortunately this bear was most content in this sprawled out position.



The zoo animals carousel was a HUGE hit for Tim. He giggled most of the time. Listen to his laughter in the video below:








The kids liked this bird's mohawk!




Momma and Savannah


The penquins were fun to watch. They were all chasing the one that had a stick in its mouth. First they jumped in, swim to the other side, play awhile, and then start the routine all over again.


Museums and zoos are always good places for Biblical teaching opportunities. Near the primate exhibits was this evolutionary display. Of course, it was not mentioned as a scientific view, but rather as fact.

We had a good discussion about God, creation and the age of the earth. Right away the kids recognized several things that didn't line up with the Bible -- which is the ultimate authority from the only creator, sustainer, and ruler of this earth!


It is so sad that many people think we accidentally evolved from animals and not wonderfully created and designed by a Holy and Awesome God!! His creation is amazing, but the Creator is the one to be praised.



Allie also heard another lady explaining similar things to her kids at this sign. She thought that was really neat.






More carausel pictures!



This little creature kept following us.



Savannah especially enjoyed the short train ride through the zoo.


Timothy even made up a song about it.............Listen below:


It was a great day, great weather and great kiddos!
