then this post won't be as long as it would have been if I had charged batteries in my camera on the day of the following excursion:
We went to the Provo Tabernacle last Friday night with Rob and Camille. They had a live Nativity. There was a set painted to resemble Bethlehem, and they had people acting out the scenes as the story was read from the Bible (this was all indoors). It was sweet (as in tender, not awesome) to be reminded of the reason for the season and to hear and sing the Christmas hymns. After it was over our family posed in front of the Bethlehem scene for a photo. This was when we discovered that our batteries were no good. We headed outside to see the animals. They had 2 sheep, a llama and a donkey. The kids were able to pet the animals (I was really bummed about my camera, but not as bummed as I was about to become). The llama got loose and made a run for it. He didn't make it too far. A bunch of people (including some from our group) made a human fence around him and corralled him back to the petting zoo area. After all that excitement we went to get a bite to eat (after thoroughly washing our hands). It was a night of good company, good activities and good food. (The perfect holiday outing.)
