Jordan

Finally my post for Jordan is ready! The past few days have been crazy because we have all been studying for finals, but I finally got it done.
Jordan was great! We visited Petra, Jarash, the Jordan River, a crusader castle, Amman and saw some amazing things! The people were great and I loved the cities that we stayed in. I didn't quite know what to expect on this trip because I didn't know very much about Jordan previous to going there, but now I am a huge fan and would love to go back.

Me and Rachel at Mt. Nebo. This is where Moses saw a view of the Holy Land although he would never make it there. This is also where many people believe Moses was buried. Of course we know that's not true...

Treasury at Petra! So Amazing!


Petra Monastery
The View of the End of the world!
This is the Ancient Roman city of Jarash. This street is called the cardot.




It was pretty hot at Jarash so we took turns soaking each other.
WE LOVE JORDAN!
Royal Automobile Museum

Waiting outside the museum. Whenever we have free time and a camera, there are inevitably a lot of random pictures.

Cool mosque we found while wandering around Amman

We visited the King Hussein mosque in Amman and all the girls had to put these robes on to cover our heads and arms.

    I am so sorry that I haven't commented in a while. I have been sick with this little one, but hopefully things are getting better. I love you so much, and I can't wait to hear all of your stories. Scout has finally figured out that you will be gone longer than a movie's length, and asked when you will be home. :)
    We are all praying for you. We will miss you a lot when we go to bear lake for the fourth of July. Actually, we will miss Kell too. She has to work. :(
    Love you.
