Branson, MO a story of Divine Redemption

Our whole trip planning started with one fact:
Jessica wanted to take Caleb to see Sight and Sound Theater's production of Noah. Noah had been moved from Lancaster, PA to Branson. Upon further research we learned that Noah would not be returning to PA and that 2011 is it's last season as they prepare to introduce Joseph and Jonah. Plan: Get to Branson to see the show.

The story was an artistic rendition yet poignant and moving.

Genesis6:5 The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6And the LORD was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. 7So the LORD said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them." 8But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD. Genesis7:7 And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him went into the ark to escape the waters of the flood.

Favorites included the goat, the llamas, the camel, the owl. Favorite animatrons included the elephants and pandas. Favorite costumed animals were the gorillas. Hadassah gave interpretive sounds for all the animals she knew. Our section heard a lot of "mooo"ing and elephant trumpeting, great cat growling and the ducks.

We had an aisle seat. The gorillas came right be us and got a little too close to Haddie's personal space. By the time we were in the ark (yes, WE were in the ark. for those scenes the theater becomes the inside of the ark filled with animals and placed for the actors to be.) she was feeling a little more confident about their presence.
