Pyramids...A Family Field Trip...

Today we took a little trip outside of the city to see 3 pyramids we hadn't seen before. We saw the Red Pyramid, The Bent Pyramid and The Step Pyramid. We went down into the Red Pyramid (well, most of us did)...a few of us thought it was a little scary...ahem...but Matt went down with our 3 kids and they thought it was so cool! It was a great day to be together as a family but it was CRAZY WINDY...we were covered in sand by the end of the day! When we got back home Matthew Ray said, "Wow! This was a great field trip we did!" He doesn't even realize how cool his "field trips" really are!

The Bent....
Mummies we found in the tombs :) They sure look good for being so ancient! :)

The Step....It was SO windy..."Mom! Help! The sand is everywhere!"


All cleaned up and happy at the end of a long day...

Easter Evening

After our fun afternoon Easter activities, we headed to a garbage area of Cairo called Iz Betel Nokl to worship with a church there. Matt preached....and then after he preached the pastor got up and announced that Matt and his wife would be singing a song for them in English. So, thirty seconds later we were singing a duet of "How Great is our God." One of the great things about Egypt is that there is never a dull moment...always something new...always (most of the time) keeps us laughing! ;)

We loved hanging out with these girls after church....

Easter 2009

We had a great time with friends and FAMILY this Easter! We went to some friend's house and had a great time of fellowship and an Easter Egg Hunt. Mom and Dad loved being a part of the festivities this year and we were so happy they were with us, too!

I can't believe how fast they are growing up! This was Meredith's first time to wear high heels!
