We broke our drive home up into two days, mainly for Benjamin’s sake. He can only handle being strapped down for so long. So Joel and I wanted to do something fun on the way home, since we would have a little extra time. After searching the internet, we realized that the Ark Encounter in Kentucky was right on our path home! And after further investigation, we found out that tickets for kids 10 & under were free, so we thought it was the perfect time to go!
It was such a neat experience! It was mind blowing to see the actual size of the ark and walk around the inside and imagine where Noah kept all those animals! Crazy! There was a lot to read, and we kinda had to blow past a lot of it. (Benjamin was a bit cranky.) But we really enjoyed our time. I was trying my best to explain things to Steven, but right after we got out of the ark, he said, so when are we gonna go in the boat? Oh dear! Not sure if it was just so huge that it didn’t seem like a boat or what! But he has been fascinated with the story of Noah ever since. He has wanted to read about it every night since we’ve gotten home. So I guess it wasn’t a complete waste of time. Haha
Then outside the ark there was a small zoo with neat animals and a petting zoo. We even found a goat named Joel! Cracked us all up!
There was an awesome playground, but by the time we got to it, it was blazing hot outside! So we didn’t get to enjoy it for as long as we would have liked. Plus we had to get back on the road!
It was a really neat experience! You should go if you’re ever close by!
