Week 21-Saul y'all

This week we went back to biblical history.  Israel wants a king and to be like the rest of the folks around it. So God give's them Saul and all the pain that comes after. Consequences of getting what you asked for and the freedom of choice. Not much really to show for this week.

Our coolest Science this week was getting the dead apple tree taken down and Grandma and Grandpa's. We found out why it was dying when they cut into it and found it to be basically hollow due to giant black carpenter ants. Hulk had lots of fun watching the crew and then digging in the remains..

 We also found a great article in Smithsonian magazine about new archaeological digs in the area of Galillee looking for clues to what life was really like during Jesus' life. It was a little over the kids head but they loved looking at the maps.
