October Events

October was quite busy for us. We traveled to Schroon Lake in early October. It was really pretty there because they were in their peak fall colors. We had the pleasure of taking a couple of drives during the free afternoons. We drove to Vermont and took a ferry across Lake Champlain. It was a lot of fun and the weather was just great! We also drove to Lake Placid, home of the Olympic winter games in the 80's. The weather again was just beautiful. Buddy did a talk for the entire group on "Dinosaurs - Separating Fact From Fiction". On Saturday night, he did an hour long music concert with songs from his two newest CD's, "Come On Aboard" and "I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ". Of course, he included some of everyone's favorites like, Here Kitty, Kitty, Soar, and The Old Account. He also did a children's workshop on one of the days.

When we arrived back at the museum from Schroon Lake, we did an archery course entitled , National Archery for Schools Program. It was a whole day of learning how to shoot their bows and how to teach students how to shoot them safely. There were five of us taking the training to become instructors. At the end of the day, we had to take a 100 question test. It was hard but everyone passed! We hope to be able to offer this at the Creation Museum sometime next year.


























We traveled to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida for a conference at Calvary Chapel Church. Buddy did four children's talks with songs. He had approx. 1,000 children in the four sessions. He did a concert for the entire congregation on Sunday evening. On Monday afternoon, he joined Ken and did some songs with children from grades K-6 at Calvary Chapel. Buddy also entertained them with his pet dinosaur, Levi, along with a fire-breathing dragon.

We are getting ready for our trip to Kenya, Africa. Please pray for us as we travel. We will be there from Nov. 2 thru Nov. 18. Buddy will be working with children from four orphanages and will be speaking at Rift Valley Academy. Rift Valley is the largest Christian School in Africa with approx. 500 students. Buddy will be giving talks and doing some crafts/art with the students. It will be a busy time. We are praying that God will use us in whatever way He choses and He will be glorified!
