Today we continued some touring with my dad and had a great day!  The weather turned out sunny and pleasant.
The place of Jesus praying before his death.

The place of Jesus healing the sick man.


You could go to the Old City many times and notice different things.  I love looking at all the mosaics and the art work in the different churches that commemorate events in the life of Jesus.


My dad is a good little traveler and goes along with the tour guide:)

The Old City is so colorful and full of life.  We had a nice time wandering around together.




A spice market and a place to buy some turkish coffee.  You can buy anything you ever wanted or thought you wanted or didn't need in this part of the market.

This sign cracks me up.  I have seen it twice and both times I laugh!



The tomb is empty!  Every time I go to this place, I am reminded of the gift of Jesus and His sacrifice!




We ended the day riding bikes and going on a walk.




I guess we actually ended the day by eating road kill.  It is chicken but it looks like it has been ran over by a car but it is very good!  Jacob enjoyed his!

And so did Hap:)
Happy Wednesday to you!

So cool that your dad is visiting you. Your pictures are fun to look at. I love it that he makes balloon animals - a skill near and dear to my heart. I took mine with me to Costa Rica one summer.

Today was the first day of cross country season for the Junior High team.  The thing about XC is that the work is put in during the summer months with early morning runs, afternoon runs, track workouts, and hill repeats.  All that work starts to become evident during these days when the races start. Jacob woke up feeling excited to get the season started.  Abigail work up at 5:48am to fix her hair and get ready for the bus.  Abram was pretty nervous as he woke up. 5th grade girls The kids ran their hearts out and did so well for the first meet. Jacob placed 2nd for his team and 3rd overall to help the boys varsity team clutch 1st place for Varsity Boys team.  Abigail looked strong and had an overall 4th place finish for the JV girls and placed 2nd for her team. Abram looked blocked it at the beginning but certainly made up for it with a strong ending to finish 1st place in the JV boys race. Let's go Tigers!

On Saturday, Nathan, Heather and Caleb came for a visit.  We had an absolutely beautiful day, and we wanted to spend the day outside.  Some people had recommended Maymont Park.  Maymont is a park that is hundreds of acres with a stone castle and barn, some animals, and lots of space for the boys to run around. Andrew wanted to get his boots wet and Aunt Heather supervised.  I am glad we crated more boots! The walk with beautiful and we enjoyed visiting along the way. There was lots of rock climbing... and lots of goats! Jacob and Caleb did a great job riding around in the strollers, but needed some time to stretch too! I love this picture of Nathan and Caleb.  He is such a great daddy and I love to see him with Caleb. Sam enjoyed a cigar at the park too.  (I joke!) The little babies ate some grass. Andrew found the cows and wanted to pet them. Sam, Andrew, Nathan and Hap found a great rock to jump off of.  Sam was fearless and surprised u...
