Zoo Fun

I met Adam and Andy's classes at their Albuquerque Zoo field trips. It was a beautiful day.

Happy Easter

the Garden Tomb-Jerusalem

Albuquerque Turkey sandwich

I thought I'd share a local recipe that I just made for lunch today. Yummy!
Albuquerque Turkey Sandwich
(feel free to change this sandwich with any ingredients you like! It’s fun to experiment!)

A few slices of turkey
One slice swiss or provolone cheese
2 slices wheat bread
Guacamole
2 slices fresh tomato
lettuce
Green chile -the fresh frozen kind

Toast the bread and immediately place cheese on one slice after you take the toast out of the toaster. Spread some guacamole on the other slice of toast. Place all the other ingredients on the cheese toast, then put the guacamole side on. I like pickles on the side.

Israel pictures

Me at the dome of the rock on temple mount in Jerusalem. Ken and I at the BYU Jerusalem center for sacrament meeting. Ken and I at Gethsemane. And us hanging out at a 5 star hotel at 6am in Jericho. Ken is floating in Dead Sea water while reading the West Bank phone book.

Random Israel pictures

This is me and Ken at the "traditional" birth spot of Jesus in Bethlehem.

This is us by the Israel museum where there is a huge model of Jerusalem 2000 years ago. You can see the temple behind us.

This is our first arrival in Jerusalem at sunset.

This is us at Ein Gedi where there is a waterfall and Ibex's. I found a fossil of a fish here.

This is us at Masada where I took a tram ride up and Ken hiked the whole mountain.

April Fools Andy

On April 1st I was shocked to see Andy with red marks all over his face. When I looked closely, he had drawn with a red marker quite a thorough design on his face. When I asked him if he did that for April Fools day he said, "No, I just wanted to be fancy". Funny fancy boy.

We're back!

We had a wonderful trip to Israel. We appreciate Krisi and Eddy for taking a week off work to come stay with our children. We learned so many fascinating things about the time of Christ and about Israel. I know I will never read the Bible the same way again. Our computer can't hold all the photos we took from Israel, so I will post pictures as we are able to download. Tonight I made falafels, hummus, cucumber/tomato salad, kalamata olives and mediterranean pickles with flat bread wraps with cheese and the spice zatar for dinner. The kids enjoyed the adventure of new tastes. They also enjoyed their April fools jello filled cups with straws and mini dessert sushi and hamburgers today.
