So he and my son stayed up late and played some video games. In the morning we finished packing the little RV and got the boys up, ate breakfast and on our way to Big Bone Lick State Park we went. We ended up bring our little dogs because they are so backwards that we didn't feel comfortable leaving them without a resident house sitter. They are so needy. And we didn't want our neighbor to have to clean up after the girls.... grrrrr. Or deal with it when we returned home.
So far things have been fine. It's too warm to leave them in the RV in a parking lot... so someone has to stay with them or check on them. It's not ideal but that's what we are dealing with.
Today we went to the Creation Museum. It was cool. We got to hear Ken Ham speak. Really enjoyed it. It was interesting. In one of the exhibits about race.... the fact that all people are of the same race, going back to Adam and Eve, until the Tower of Babel, scattered and split folks up. A Caucasian woman said to an African American woman , "Isn't it wonderful that we are all of the same race." Instead of saying yes, or amen, or you got that right.... she said I wish the president believed that. It made me sad. That we can't just be nice. Why put a negative spin on that conversation.
We came back to the campground took a walk and well, let's just say I told them we were taking the wrong fork in the trail but got out voted. So the very winding, hilly, muddy, and slippery .5 mile walk ended up being over a mile. But we found the bison and I was thrilled to find a beautiful butterfly to photograph. Then we walked back on the road... probably a little over a mile. More butterflies of different varieties. One which landed on my hand.... and as we were about to melt from the steamy hot weather and the walk up the steep hill a fawn crossed the road a little over half the way up the hill in front of us. Very, very cool. I literally felt like I was melting. I headed to the showers to wash, shampoo and change. I felt like a new woman.
We started dinner when I got back. We had brats. Well, we almost didn't. I left them in the freezer. There were eight of them frozen together solid. So the water I was heating for corn on the cob, we put the brats into until I had 8 not 1, then grilled them. Then I started some new water for the corn. So dinner was brats, corn on the cob, sweet potatoes, and broccoli and chips. For dessert s'mores. My husband made me the most perfectly created s'more and brought it to me while I was doing dishes. Mmmmmm. Yum yum yummity!
We are comfortable here at the campground. We have electricity and water. The RV keeps the bugs outside. But in a sense we are roughing it out here. We have no tv, internet or cell coverage. It's actually nice. It is strange though to be unplugged.
Now we are settling in for the night. They may make a campfire tonight. To be honest I'm pooped... tuckered out... spent.... wasted.... so tired.
Tomorrow is the Ark Encounter. Up early, breakfast and go. Then back here for a trip to the little museum here at the park. Probably walking... I hope my legs are still working tomorrow! Hahaha.... that was a treacherous walk today. My footing slipped numerous times but I was being careful so I didn't fall. Anyway, life can be wonderful, eventful, exciting, disappointing, sad and yet we can still be happy if we understand that it is not always gonna be rosy..... roses have thorns and life isn't without pain, because of sin. But we can have hope in the God of the Bible -that all is not in vain. He will sustain our needs and give purpose to our lives and that thought gives me peace and joy. Even when I'm feeling a wee bit sad. It keeps me from falling into a deep chasm of depression. Knowing the best is yet to come.
