Bethlehem Walk 2011

Every year we go to Bethlehem Walk in Satellite Beach. They recreate Bethlehem on the Eve of Jesus' birth and retell the story. There are different booths to visit. When you first enter, the Roman guards have you sign the census. This year we took Trystan with us. He was VERY impressed with the Roman guards.

EVERYONE has to sign the census. :)
When we heard the shepherds tell the good news, and after we visited with the donkey, the lambs, the cebu, and the goats, we saw Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus. Bethlehem Walk is one of our favorite Christmas traditions.
