Branson Trip

I know I haven't done a good job posting this summer, but I will definitely post later about each state we've been in. I wanted to write a quick one while I was thinking about our night! We've been in Branson with my family and have been having a great time. We each chose one big thing that we wanted to do and BJ and my parents chose Noah, the musical. It was AWESOME! The first part of the play was Noah building the ark, and the second part opened with all the animals surrounding us!!! We were in the ark! It really was incredible! There were real animals and it really felt so real. The coolest part was the foreshadow of how there was only one door on the ark that those who believed entered into, and the cross is the ONE DOOR that we can enter into if we believe! I was happy to see that everyone who goes to this play is getting to view how God uses the Old Testament to reveal His promises, and it gives us a hope! If you get the oportunity...pay the money and go!

Olivia did not get the opportunity to go, but Jason and Eilene watched her! It was good to know she was in such good hands...and practice for them (as they will be parents in 6 months!) They said that she was really good, but when they put her to bed, she kept looking at the door (for us!) The sweetest part of the night was coming home to "peek" on Olivia in her crib. I think that she noticed our presence and stood up and said "ooo!" There was no escaping! She knew we were in there! We turned on a light and hugged her and told her goodnight! It was like she was waiting on us to get home! The smile on our face seemed like it was as big as the rainbow that God used to promise us He would never flood the earth! We are so blessed!
