We decided to head to the big(ger) city today. It's not actually the BIG city around here. We found this place called the Museum of World Treasures. It had a very eclectic mix of random things including Egyptian artifacts like mummies, Buddhas, war memorabilia from WWI, WWII, Civil, Revolutionary, Korean and Vietnam, some wild west stuff, a few sports items, a Presidential exhibit, and even some pop culture stuff too. It was a strange mix.
They had a bunch of dinosaur fossils too. There were some really cool ones of fish that were around 20 feet long found here in Kansas. It was a good opportunity to talk to the boys and girl about how the Flood created all of these fossils in all sorts of places that don't normally have ocean water like Kansas!
They also had an exhibit about artifacts from the time of Christ. They had a spear point that could have been the type used to pierce Christ's side, a type of nail that could have been used in crucifixions, dice that could have been used by soldiers to cast lots for Christ's clothes, and silver coins from that time like the 30 that Judas received to betray Jesus. They also had the Bible references listed by each item.
We ended the day with a contest - who could have the messiest mouth?
Matt won...he usually does.
