Jackson Walked Through Bethlehem

Michael, Meaghan, and Jackson came to see us this past Sunday and went through Walk Through Bethlehem with me (Grampa was working as a guide). He really enjoyed all the animals as well as all the stories told by the costumed players. Every time one of the people asked a rhetorical question as part of their speech, Jackson would answer, so he was the hit of our group (the Tribe of Judah). We all chuckled when the Tax Collector at the gates of Bethlehem asked everyone if they brought their shekels to pay their taxes to Augustus Caesar, and Jackson asked him, "Is this going to take a long time?" Here are a few pictures:
