On December 11, we got to visit Main Street Bethlehem. A Baptist church in Burnet puts this on every December - it's supposed to be a representation of how Bethlehem might have been on Christmas Eve when Jesus was born. We knew to arrive early. Adam and Lottie had a grea time jumping on rocks and kicking the dirt. They even shared some candy canes with new friends.
Enjoying time with Daddy (home for a court martial). Gram and Bapa were also along to visit.
Visitors camping out in town for the census.
Roman soldiers patrolling Bethlehem.
Adam and Lottie got to pet the goose. Really soft!
Adam inspects the reeds used to make bedding mats.
Uh oh! Someone got in trouble.
Double trouble.
Reading the Torah at Temple.
Paying their taxes.
Testing a newly made rope.
Lottie was excited to pet the camel.
The main show. Adam was really excited to see baby Jesus. I think he was a little disappointed that he didn't get to hold baby Jesus. He would have been REALLY disappointed if he had realized it was just a baby doll. We had a good time. The people at the church did a great job of conveying the atmosphere and events of the time.
