Spring Flowers
Spring starts earlier in Israel than we are used to from the States. Of course, most people from Utah would say that we don't have a winter here. However, most people from Oregon would say that we do, because of the rain.
After church, we went to look at the spring flowers with the entire branch. Near Megiddo (Armageddon) is a huge field of anemone flowers. The flowers are all poppy anemones: purple, blue, white and red. Below are Tiffany, Scott and Brooke among the flowers.
Poppy Anemone fieldThe reason Tyler wasn't in the picture above is that he saw that the flower field is right next to an airfield, the Megiddo Airport, and he ran to watch through the fence. Tyler was thrilled to see, "one plane pulling another plane with a rope", or in other words, watching a towplane pull a glider into the air. Tyler had fun watching the planes with Yulia, one of his friends in our branch.

"How does the rope come un-hooked?" - Tyler was very interested in the gliders and thought they were being towed because they were broken.

"Me, Me, Me!" - my turn
