Journey to Bethlehem 2009

This year the Journey to Bethlehem was even more special because Zack was in it. Since Ian had to go to China, Zack was able to take his place as a soup peddler.

The weather this year was FREEZING!!! And thanks to the winter weather advisory everyone was afraid of snow and ice, which NEVER came. Whew!

Zack did a great job and had a fantastic time! He looked so authentic we almost didn’t recognize him. (see if you can spot him in the movie)

We went twice this year. Once as a family and then again with Maggie, Charlie, Grandpa and Grandma. It was really cool because we were the first group the second night!
