The Rest of the Visit
After Tyler and Scott returned from their trip to the dairy, we all went out to Chinese food. It is a really good Chinese restaurant called Tokai (it used to be called Sea Waves). Here are the two girls showing how cute they are.
Chinese dinnerOn Saturday, we all went to church. After church we went to Capernaum to eat a picnic lunch. Here are Brooke and Tiffany in front of the steps that lead down to the Sea of Galilee beach.
Just hanging aroundWe were able to get a picture of the whole group with the Sea of Galilee behind us.
All of us at CapernaumAfter Capernaum, we drove to the Mount of Beatitudes. As always, we enjoyed the peaceful feeling on the beautiful grounds. The kids especially enjoyed exploring the garden paths.
The girls and their mommiesWe stayed at the Mount of Beatitudes until sunset and then headed home.
Sunset over Mt. of BeatitudesOn Sunday, Scott had to return to work, but Tiffany took Mom, Dave, Tawni and Brooke to the Baha'i shrine. Dad and Lexi stayed home to play.
Baha'i shrineDave and Tawni were able to take a tour of the Baha'i gardens and descended down 19 terraces to the German colony at the base of Mount Carmel. Mom, Tiffany and Brooke walked around the central level of the gardens where the shrine is located.
At the Baha'i gardensTyler really enjoyed playing with Lexi. He kept saying things like, "I love her. When will she wake up? I want to play with her."
Hugging cousinsThe two little girls had fun taking a bath together.

Grandpa and the girlsOn Monday, we all went to the airport to see our visitors off. It was sad to see them go, but we had a great time together. We were so glad they were all able to come visit us.
Going homeTyler-isms:
"Sometimes I talk funny." - About his groggy morning voice.
"Only two each." - When asked if there were lots of animals on Noah's ark.
Brooke-isms:
"Tor" - store. Brooke loves to go to the grocery store.
