A visit to Migdal, Israel
After we visited the Sea of Galilee, we drove up to Migdal to visit our friends, the Gottfried family. Migdal is near the anicent city of Magdalene, where Mary Magdalene was from.
We drove to Migdal. Since our friends live in the countryside, they don't have an address. We got lost and we didn't know how to get to their house. Thankfully, we met their friend, who called the Gottfreids and told them where to meet up with us.
A few minutes later, a horse came trotting on the road with Josh (the oldest) and his aunt on its back. Beside the horse came the family car.
We followed the horse and car to their house.
We had a great afternoon with the Gottfrieds. The kids showed us their horse, Dusty, and their aunt gave us all a ride on Dusty.
Dusty is a very obedient and calm horse. Below is Theodore on Dusty. Behind him, in the distance, is Mount Arbel.
The Gottfrieds' aunt is very good with horses. She has been riding horses every since she was 6 years old.
Here is a video of Theodore on the horse:
All of us got to ride on Dusty, including Mommy and Daddy!
The kids also showed us their pet turtle.
Their pet turtle lives in their backyard and he has a turtle house all to himself!
Theodore and Josh played on the swing.
Anabel, Isa, Amelia, and I played hopscotch. I haven't played hopscotch for at least 5 years! The girls taught us a new version of it. It is actually pretty fun!
Inside the house, the adults talked as they enjoyed delicious snacks prepared by the Gottfrieds' mom.
We had a great time of fellowship with the Gottfrieds. The Gottfrieds were very hospitable. We hope to meet them again in the future!
At the end, we had to say good-bye. Saying good-by is the saddest part of visiting friends. The kids sang a farewell song to us. As we drove off, they said, "We miss you already!"
