My Trip to Kentucky...Day 4

Sunday October 15th 2017

 

                Sunday morning we woke up and once again had to be ready to leave at 9:00 AM, this time with all of our stuff packed up so we could check out of the hotel. We loaded everything into the vans and headed to church. The interpreter found a church which had Deaf Sunday school about 30 min from the hotel and not too incredibly far from the Ark Encounter. When we arrived she looked at me and told me I would be interpreting Sunday School, and she meant it, kind of.

My Trip to Kentucky...Day 3

Saturday October 14th 2017

 

                We woke up the next morning, got ready for the day, and ate a hot breakfast at the hotel, before meeting in the lobby at nine. For some of us (me) this was normal, other people thought this was the crack of dawn. Before we set out we passed out our matching T-Shirts so we could easily find each other at the museum that day. Then we all piled into the vans and rode over to the museum where we had a group picture taken first thing so we wouldn’t forget.

My Trip to Kentucky.... Day 1&2

Sometime over the summer the Deaf Sunday School at my church found out about Deaf Day at the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter in Kentucky. It was a day for Deaf from all over to come to the Museum when they knew it would be completely filled with other Deaf and there would be Interpreters around every corner to help. We were all very excited about the trip and plans were made. There were 23 of us altogether including:

• 4 Deaf,
• 1Hard of Hearing,
• 1 Interpreter,
• 1 future Interpreter (me!) 
•  3 CODA’s (Child Of a Deaf Adult) (one of which was the interpreter)
• 2 other people who know ASL
• 4 people who are learning or simi-fluent in ASL
• 8 people who know 30 signs or fewer

 I wish I had kept a log every night of what had happened that day; I did not, however I took a lot of pictures to show you all and I am writing from memory, Yay Me!
