This year I had a few Christmas activities that I really wanted to do, so we squeezed them in one evening as our FHE activity. We went to see a train display in a nearby town. It was pretty big, with lots of trains - I was even surprised by how long some of them were. It was fun to see, but kind of hard for Crew to stay behind the crowd rail and not run up and grab the trains. . . so we weren't there very long :)
That same night we went to a live drive through nativity that was done at a local church. Right when we drove up, there was this crazy guy dressed up like a scientist that told us he was going to take us back in time to Bethlehem. He was very loud, and came right up to the window, so Crew didn't quite know what to expect. I HAD to get a picture of his face - we had his window rolled down.
Here is the crazy mad scientist. Man, this guy really got into character! It made it fun. Then we drove though this tunnel that had a projector with an image twirling in front of us, so it looked like we were being transported to Bethlehem.
I didn't get any other shots of the Roman soldiers guarding the gates, the nice inn keeper who told us there was no room, the shepards with the angel, the wise men following the star, or the actual scene with Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus - and a cute little girl dressed up as a lamb who kept waving and smiling at Crew. But I caught my kids riding through, looking at all the people who came right up to our window to chat with us.
This is when we were still in the time machine.
At the end, they even brought free hot chocolate to our window!
