Live Nativity

In a nearby City, Eagle the Young Men and Young Women get together at someones Farm to reenact the Nativity complete with a live Camel and Donkey. This was our first year going so we were not quite as prepared as we should have been for the cold, but we had a good time anyways. You park a little ways away from the house so they bring you in on a tractor/hay ride to the gates of Bethlehem. You are greeted by a fire, camel and 2 Roman Soldiers from there you are escorted to the Inn Keepers by the Shepard's. Then you learn that there is no room so you are then escorted to the shepherds being greeted by angels signing. Then you journey down a candle lit road to the Manger where you see the Wise Men giving gifts to baby Jesus. As part of a donation they ask you to bring a gift to the babe of canned goods for the local food bank.
Brooklyn has admired the nativity we have at the house and always wants to see baby Jesus so when we took her here she was excited and waved at the baby. It was cute even when we walked away she turned around to wave bye.

After it was over they had Hot Chocolate and a fire for everyone. It is only for 2 nights and they do an amazing job everything is very welled timed and done. I could see us making this a tradition as long as they keep doing it. The first night they had over 1500 people.
The Camel, it was a baby one.
