This week just marked Elyse's highlight of her summer, something she anticipates as school ends, going to Camp Lebanon. She loves going to Camp Lebanon, and I really don't understand as she doesn't like being outside or dirty. She went with five classmates this year and had four extra girls in our cabin, who she said were a great addition. I know she's sad to be home, but we are happy to have her back.
Our last day was spent entirely at the Cincinnati Zoo. The kids even asked how big it was because it just kept going and going. The zoo was beautiful with all the scenery, shade, animals, and exhibits. Nothing about this day was a disappointment, except for the 90-degree day we had. Our favorites were the hippos, rhinos, elephants, blue penguins, manatees, and active wolves.
The rest of our day was then spent at the Newport Aquarium. The aquarium was nice but nothing amazing. The kids enjoyed the parts where you could feel the animals and crossing the shark bridge.

So I really thought the Ark Encounter was going to be the best, but I was wrong. I and a few others actually enjoyed the Creation Museum more. It had so much history and images to make the entire Bible come to life. Kallen who loves dinosaurs really enjoyed it as dinosaurs were a key figure in lots of the museums as they were on earth during the time of Adam, Eve, and even Noah, just fascinating! Even historical artifacts and bible translations were present, amazing!
