Follow the Star

A local area church put on an event called "Follow the Star" which was a journey through the life of Jesus.  It was really well done and very touching.  There were a couple scenes surrounding Jesus' death that were a little too graphic for Jake, so Daddy and Jake skipped those, but otherwise it was really neat and a great learning opportunity to share Jesus' story and importance.  The event was set into scenes, so of course, the first scene was the Angel Gabriel appearing to Mary...
You can't share Jesus' life without starting with his birth...
Jesus entry into Jerusalem, which is celebrated by Palm Sunday in many churches...
The Last Supper...
Jesus' ascension into heaven...
I didn't take any pictures of Jake because it was dark and we were walking through the scenes with a lot of people.  Despite no Jake pictures, still counts as a night to remember!

Wow, how do you find out about all these events? I've tried looking for different things to do with our boys, but couldn't find anything.

Mostly, I find out about them through freefuninaustin.com. I'm signed up for an e-mail that comes a couple times a week highlighting things to do in the area so I don't ever have to keep up with the website itself.
