Day 9 & 10

Better late than never!!!
Friday & Saturday.


Winding down!

Saying good bye to the Kentucky farm


Traveling to some of our best friends in West Virginia that moved about 2 years ago! They have three boys with lots of energy like ours!


Playing with friends & new toys is very exciting!

Hiking in the hills of WV was beautiful!
It's nice to be with friends & God's beautiful creation!!!





We had a lovely pizza lunch in town! You know everyone is tired in hungry if a table of 4 adults & 5 kids under 6 is silent. That night we had a fire pit with smores!

Day 6

Image
Tuesday, june 27th Chicago wore us Evensen's out! It was an early morning start with a little longer than a hour in the car followed by two hours on the train! The boys were really excited about that. It wasn't quite like our Norwegian train trips (there's usually a small playground inside), but it was nice! We made it to the Windy City after our trip across three states! We made it our goal to do the Field museum. We got to see lots of stuffed animals & relics! There was a Pacific exhibit that had several relics that reminded Per Einar of PNG. My favorite was the bug exhibit where it "shrunk" you & took you underground to see all the tiny things in the soil! Micah needed to hold my hand through the whole thing! Seeing ants the size of yourself can be scary! The ladt picture is Aidan coming out of a cicada shell in the underground exhibit. After the museum, we walked along Lake Michigan on a beautiful summer day. The water was such a clear blue, aqua! It...

Day 8

A day of wonder!!!!!! It was just one of those days that was absolutely perfect! Aidan woke up feeling better. There's no room for complaining when Gods beautiful creation is right outside your doorstep! It was a relaxing morning at the farm which included playing in the pool, seeing the farm animals, & just enjoying the fresh air! Then we went on our Ark Encounter adventure. Its a life sized recreation of Noah's ark. It left me speechless, utterly amazed, & full of wonder. One of my first thoughts was I could see how people thought Noah was a little crazy to build such a thing! I'm not sure how to really capture in words the experience. It was truly moving & amazing. It was so neat thinking about all the preparation Noah, his wife, his three sons & their wives did for this adventure! Planning the boat & then knowing all about the animals & what supplies & foods to bring! And thinking it was not just the 40days/40 nights. They had to plan for a y...

2017 Summer Road Trip-Day One

Image
Part I: Halfway to Michigan The road trip to Nashville was fairly uneventful. We did start about 45 minutes later than planned because I accidentally turned off my alarm. Despite that, we made decent time! We missed holding baby Parker in Atlanta because he wanted to stay in my cousins belly. After a few snacks in the car, stories of Per's trips to Kentucky along this same route, Papa G's pit stop nap at monteagle rest stop, & the life altering privilege for the boys to chew gum over the "eagle mountain," we arrived in Nashville!! Childhood family friends the Stowells are hosting us for the night in their hilly, lovely Tennessee home. I mentioned uneventful earlier. Well that was true until about 20 minutes of arriving when all 4 boys found their way to the front driveway away from us adults. In the two minutes out of our sight, Micah found a strider bike & managed to ride down the hill & crash at the bottom without a helmet on. My heart skipped a beat as ...
