Visiting ONU

This evening, we arrived on campus at Olivet Nazarene University.  After we registered, we went on a scavenger hunt (which was really a tour around campus) for a couple hours.

The first stop was at Burke Administration building, 

where all the kids in the group yelled hello to Dr. Bowling.

Milby Clock Tower

At the clock tower, the group was to form a circle around the tower, grab hands, and sing, "Ring around the Rosie."

I thought Jeremy looked kinda college preppy today. ;)

At the planetarium, the kids all lined up shortest to tallest.

They posed for a group shot in front of the school sign, but you can't tell that it says Olivet Nazarene University. 

4 ONU students took us around campus.  At the eternal flame, the kids did a silly-face photo.

The new Centennial Chapel is beautiful.

The kids spelled out O-N-U on the lawn by the gazebo.

Then we went inside the chapel...

One of the gorgeous stained glass windows, including the Lord's prayer...

the pipes and horns

On the lawn of the Warming House, they played Duck, Duckc Goose!

We left the scavenger hunt a few stops early so we could have ice cream in the cafeteria.  Afterwards, we took our things to the on-campus apartment where we were staying for the night.  The kids were more than thrilled with it.  It was quite nice for campus housing!  There were 2 bedrooms, large closets for each student, a kitchen area, living room area with 4 desks and a.c., and a bathroom--of course.  Sylvia said, "College students have the best life!"  

We spent a while reviewing some more questions for the Quiz in the morning, and then all went to sleep.

Well, I didn't sleep a wink.  Kinda odd sharing a room with Jeremy but sleeping in our own twin beds! Ha!  I stayed up until midnight finishing a book on the Kindle app on my phone.  (Leota's Garden by Francine Rivers...I quite enjoyed it.)  

I am glad we stayed on campus though, and had the tour so the kids could see more of the university.  It is beautiful.  They all thought it was pretty cool, and all said they want to go to college there.  Maybe Uncle Travis and Aunt Erin would be proud.  :)
