More Vacay

At Vacation Bible School this year, one of the focuses was "God Sightings." We encouraged the kids to pay attention to where they saw God each day. The idea being that if you look you will see God in so many different ways.

Our second destination of vacation was Albuquerque, NM and we needed a God Sighting. We had planned our activities before we left Austin. However, we realized very quickly that we needed to revamp our plans. With the previously mentioned "hotel hyperactivity" as well as lots of drive time, spending an entire day at two museums, whether they were geared towards children or not, was NOT going to work. We went to the children's museum, which was great, but a mere hour and a half of fun. As we are driving away from the museum I said to Kevin, "I wonder if there is a zoo in Albuquerque." Not a minute later, there is a sign "ZOO" and an arrow pointing to the right. Talk about a God sighting! Not only is there a zoo in Albuquerque, it is a fabulous zoo. We had a blast and spent all afternoon there. We got to see a crocodile get fed which was quite exciting. We also got to see the polar bears get fed. It was a great zoo and we would highly recommend it!
