ICHE's 2005 Father/Son Retreat

Lately I have been very busy working with Jeremy on an addition that he has just started building on a customers house, practicing the Piano, selling various items via ebay, and also (best of all) ICHE's 2005 Father/Son Retreat held at the Answers in Genesis Creation Museum in Kentucky.

Here are a few pictures from the retreat last weekend.


For those of you who have seen the Trunk Monkey Commercials - We Were There!!!



Walking through the Museum you've got to keep your eyes out for ravenous monsters lurking around every corner.


Joseph even found one to ride, and we had some high-speed racing action there for a minute.


I walked into one room, and there was someone's pet Dino that had gotten loose.


Friday Morning/Early afternoon found us moving 160 yards of mulch into the islands in their main parking lot.


Oops... Was this Supposed to happen? No It Was NOT!

At one point during the morning the people in charge at AIG started getting optomistic that we could finish the first 70 yards of mulch by 2:00pm. Well, we had it all done by 11:30am, so they ordered another truck load of mulch while we were eating lunch. It came in, and as you can see, dumped the mulch in the less-common way. We were able to get the trailer empty, and the mulch distributed by mid afternoon.


Hmm...


Ken Ham gave a teaching to us on Friday Night. I even got to shake hands with him (or a picture of him).


Here is a picture of our group that was taken by Ken Ham himself, immediately following his address.



Wrestling was the activity of the evening. As you can see, there was some stiff competition between some of the participants. The next morning, many woke up even stiffer with bruised backs that were slowly seeping out clear... Maybe I won't mention the details. Needless to say, the ground was bumpy and hard, and the bruises didn't come in their sleep.


Some matches were so even, and SO LONG, that the spectators lost their interest.


Saturday some of the crew helped with the Irrigation Systems, and the Waterfall. Meanwhile, others helped staff the AIG Staff picnic. I got to Ref' a few volleyball games, including the one shown above that featured a "Big Ball" (this is a totally different game, even though the only difference is the ball).


Saturday night we enjoyed Pudgy Pies around the fire before we headed off to hit the hay.


Here's a picture of the whole crew. Over 75 guys!
