Ride the Ducks!

There's nothing like being downtown Seattle during the holidays! Tonight Aunty Danielle and the Irvins went to Westlake Center and went on the Ride the Ducks holiday light tour and on the merry go round. What a fun night and a good way to enjoy the holiday cheer!!

Israel 2010

I can't believe it has come and gone this fast. We had such an amazing time in Israel visiting with family and seeing most of the country. We went North from Tiberias all the way South to Eilat and everything in between. We floated in the Dead Sea, scuba dived in the Red Sea, swam in the Mediterranean Sea, and stuck our feet in the Sea of Galilee. We went on a camel ride, visited the old city in Jerusalem, put a prayer in the Western Wall, saw where Jesus was crucified and reserected, saw the Jordan River, climbed Masada, soaked in the hot springs and of course ate many falafel and shwarma! All in all it was an amazing trip. We are missing everyone already. Until next time...
