More Advent Fun

We decided to take the kids out to see some sheep after reading about the shepherds watching over their flocks. We knew of a place that had sheep out in a field, so we planned that on the day we read that set of shepherd scriptures we'd bundle all the kids up, get them in the car, and make the story a little more personal.

As we drove up past the fields we noticed something. No sheep. They had been moved to a little pen just behind the owner's house. We did what we could though and parked in a nearby church parking lot. We took the kids across the street and had them peek around the fence at the distant sheep.

In the end I'm not sure how powerful it was for the kids, but it sure felt nice getting out as a family. And the kids enjoyed getting out and running around a bit.
