The Ark

We also visited the Ark by Answers in Genesis. It's a life size, biblical accurate yet creatively imagined (where Scripture is silent) Ark replica. It was INCREDIBLE.

The whole family was unanimous - this was one of the highlights of our vacation. First, off the sheer size of the thing blows you away. Clearly, all of the animals could fit on this ark.

Second, they did such an incredible job explaining the mechanics and science behind every aspect of life in the Ark including feeding, air flow, the physics of waves hitting the boat, lighting...you name it. We got a real sense of how Noah and his family lived for a year on the Ark, taking care of all those animals. Super cool.

Plus Emery got to ride on a camel for the first time ever.

Andrew wasn't about to be left out.

The grounds were lovely too. All in all, the Ark Encounter gave us a glimpse of what life might have been like on the Ark. It gave us a whole new appreciation for the wisdom of God to save Noah and his family and the animals through the Ark. Praise God for His grace.
