Holy Land Experience












We went to a place called Holy Land Experience while in Orlando. Here are some pictures from it:

Roman soldiers


There were plays, like David and Goliath. The Roman soldiers were probably part of a play. Above, you saw a picture of Dad with another man and a woman. The woman ( we'll call her Lily) was supposed to be a Hebrew woman, on David's side. The man ( we'll call him Johnny) was Goliath. They got Dad to be David. If you've read that story, you probably know that Saul had David put on his armor, to be safe when he went against Goliath. Well, they didn't have any armor to put on Dad, so that's the cloths they put on him. I can tell you that Goliath would have been doubled over in laughter if David was dressed like that! No, David ( in the real story) refused the armor,and set out with the Lord on his side. Still that was kinda funny, but Mom said that she wished they would be more realistic. David DID NOT dress like that, and Goliath didn't either.

The only one I really liked was The Wilderness Tabernacle; Mom really liked it too. They didn't allow cameras in there, or else I would have taken many pictures. It was bascially what the High Priest did in the Holy Place ( place where people could come) and the Holy of Holies. It was AWESOME. I loved that one more than anything, probably. It wasn't really suited for VJ. Since Noah had to stary with grandparents because of his school, VJ was there, and I kinda wish ( not to be mean, but really) Noah was there instead of VJ. I mean, there were many more people there who looked like grandparents than there were 0- 50 year olds. No offence to anyone who is a grandparent. But really, it really was more for adults than children. Plus, it was a lot of walking around, and more advanced things for adults, than getting to ride around with a horse and buggy, and have granola bars. ;) And, of course, ICarly or A-Team in front of you. ;) Anyone could guess that for me ;> But it was interesting, at first till I started getting tired and hungry.

I'll post more pictures of a helicopter museum we went to on our way back from Dothan later....
