Our friend Jean asked to take the children on the Nativity Trail at our local arboretum. As Joshua's football matches were cancelled due to frozen field and Jean can't drive I took the 3 kids and Jean. It was really fun and towards the end of the trail they had tableaux from the Christmas story with readings from the Bible and questions to answer. It was interesting to be in a real stable thinking about the reality of the birth of Jesus. The most exciting and memorable moment for the children, though, was when the goat jumped over the fence and escaped while we were in the stable!! It was close to the end so we made sure we told the lady in the centre so they could track it down.
