For I know the thoughts that I think towards you,
says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not evil, to give
you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me
and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you
will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with
all your heart.
~ Jeremiah 29:11-13 ~

Fossil Hunting on the Peace River

On Saturday Dr. Parker gave us a lesson on fossils, and took us to the Peace River to go fossil hunting. Now we know a little bit more about how to identify fossilized parts of creatures. We enjoyed listening to stories and learning more about God's creation. It was a wonderful trip.

The Creation Adventures Museum

The Museum is in the Parker's home.
They have displays set up all around their house,
and in their living room they have a book store.
We are so glad we got to see him again and
meet his wife.

Their garage was used for the class room with
an exuberant amount of displays.

Tyler's 13th Birthday

On Tyler's Birthday we had a very busy day. We had to get up and leave the resort we were staying at and travel about 3 hours to a different part of Florida to visit Dr. Gary Parker and his wife. He invited us to sit in on a creation class he was teaching. In the afternoon we went to the gulf of Mexico to walk around on the beach and watch the sunset. It was a long day.
