Kings Island and the Creation Museum

The first weekend in September we took the kids to Kings Island, out side of Cincinnati, and the Creation Museum on a last minute "vacation". Jamey found some great tickets to the amusement park through Friends of Liberty, a grass roots organization in Ohio. We spent the day with the kids riding what we could ride. The girls enjoyed some freedom form most of the day but, the rides got the best of Emma so they came and found the rest of us during the evening. Grace loved meeting all the Snoopy characters and had to give each one a hug. The girls drug Caleb, who is afraid of just about everything, to ride Ocean Motion. As you can see, he was not amused by the ride. Hannah and I hit a few coasters at night before we enjoyed a concert hosted by the F.O.F. That night we stayed a few miles from the park and headed to the Creation Museum in the morning. It is located just south of Cinci, over the state line. We explored the exhibits that took us on a trip from creation up to present day. They had a 4D theater and many other multi-media displays that epicted various Bible stories and other historical events. We also enjoyed visiting the petting zoo where we all got up close to the animals.
