Emma is Princess Leah, with a little butterfly action on her cheeks.
Josh was the ball. Don't have a picture of Elisabeth or Rebekah for some reason. Rebekah was a candy corn and Elisabeth a gymnast. R and J class trips:
They left by bus at 4 in the morning to go to the airport and get on chartered jets....1 to Dahab on the Red Sea and the other to Luxor, in southern Egypt.
Rebekah went to Dahab. She had a blast, did a lot of snorkeling, learned a lot about Red Sea ecology. She came home with a bag full of dirty laundry and a smile on her face:) She didn't call at all in the 4 days she was gone. We missed her.
Josh left to Luxor for 3 days. He learned a lot about Egyptian history and the Valley of the Kings. He bartered for gifts for the girls (and he got someone down from 80 LE to 10 LE---that's my boy!) and brought scarves, necklaces, an ancient Egyptian violin for Elisabeth, and a magnet for me:) He called us on the first night, just a tiny bit homesick he said, and came home safe and sound and with some great stories to tell about the teachers getting "tense" after the first day. 120 6th graders....I wonder why they were tense!
Neither one of them took a camera, but here are some shots of them leaving.

Wow, sounds like a lot of fun! I just wish you saw more of Brent! We'll be excited to see him and then excited to send him back to his family!
Wow, awesome field trips! What a great experience for them both! Do they go to an American or expat or local school?
Oh heavens, I am so glad they are safe at home! I am so excited for them! They will have more stories to tell than Grandpa Kearns when this Egypt thing is all said and done! :)

It's so awesome that they get to go on such fun field trips. My kids wondered what Halloween was going to be like for your kids. Sounds like you had fun.
