At one of the local stakes, they put on a live nativity. We decided to take the kids to check it out. It is similar to the Walk Through Bethlehem we did last year in Ponte Vedre. This one you had to wait in line and walk by and through the scenes. It was well done. They had small fire pits through out the line to keep you warm and they had people dressed in costume walking around with their goats which kept Kendall's attention. Riley liked the costumes and scenery while Kendall got most excited about the animals. It is a great way to show the kids how people lived during the time when Jesus was born.
This is us waiting our turn in the very long line. Thank goodness we got there early or the we would have waited longer!
Here are the wise men. They also had a scene with someone writing while the Christmas story was being told via speakers.
They had 2 camels there and K went NUTS! This one actually started to get close to her, but Andy got nervous that it would spit on them. She was disappointed when Andy took her away from it!
She was in pure heaven here. I have to say I was too - I love calves. It was so soft and K loved to pet it. She could have stayed there petting the calf all night. There was a dog inside this pen with the calves and it barked every time kids tried to climb up on the fence!
She loved petting the goats as well. Maybe she'll be a vet when she grows up?
All in all it was a great night. Cold, but worth it for the kids to see what life was like over 3000 years ago and the type of world Jesus was born into.
