A local retreat/camping center holds a "Journey to Bethlehem" outdoor nativity walk sort of thing.
This past Saturday, we joined T's two sister's and their families as well as his parents to experience the journey.
After arriving to sign in and pay our taxes for the census, we headed out by wagon to various stops. Each stop featured a part of the Christmas story and it was a very meaningful evening.
In the "market" where the kids were given a coin to buy crackers and had to search for the lost lamb - which is why the pictures are blurry and some aren't looking! :)
Followed the shepherd's children, looking for the lost lamb, to this campfire.
And then we saw...
We followed the star...
And found baby Jesus.
E and her cousin M, 9, taking in the moment.

A church near us did this a few times when our kids were younger. It's such a neat thing to take part in - feels like you are there and it makes it more real. I enjoyed your pictures!
Oh my gosh! I would LOVE IT if we had something like this around here! Take us with you next year!
btw ... I <3 the photos, even the ones that are "blurry." :-D
How wonderful!!!!!
