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...

First falafel of the trip!

I can't believe we are already half way through the month of October! Israel is just around the corner...we couldn't be more excited. Amya said to me today while reading books "after I wake up from my nap let's go to Israel"!...I wish it were that easy. Here are some pictures from this month, just hanging around home and having fun out and about- enjoy!

This was Amya getting her face painted for the first time- too darn cute! She was trying so hard to keep her eyes closed, she kept this squishy face the whole time! These aren't in the correct order, but you can figure it out!
