Saturday - Noah | Silver Dollar City

After breakfast we went to the Sight and Sound Theatre to purchase tickets for Noah: The Musical. We left and came back for the 1 p.m. show. It was great timing, because as we were leaving, the traffic coming in for the next show was lined up out the long drive and all the way along Shepherd of the Hills Expwy. What a mess!

The Theatre...

This is a miniature of what the theatre looked like inside. We had pretty good seats, about five rows back on the left side. The ark is about three stories high. Rather impressive.

Waiting to be seated...

Huge screen - about the size of three movie theater screens put together.

A view of the ark. All my other pics turned out blurry because we couldn't use flash.

The show was wonderful! They wove the thread of Christ all the way through the account of Noah until the end, when the gospel of Christ was given. Makes you look at the account of Noah in a whole new light.

We left the theatre and planned to stop at our hotel to change clothes before heading to Silver Dollar City, but we made a wrong turn and didn't want to deal with the parking lot of traffic, so we just headed to SDC anyway. If you go after 3 you can use your passes the next day, too. (Thanks, Tessa, for the tip!) It was wonderful! The kids had practically all the kiddie rides to themselves - almost no waiting.

Huge, monumental moment - Adam on a roller coaster!

We closed the place down, fought the traffic out of there and then found a Wendy's for dinner. All day long, Kira had been asking, "Can we go swim?" So, after dinner the kids swam for about 45 minutes and then we headed back to our room. End of Day One.
