We borrowed a couple of new IBEX benches for a month this summer while in Israel and the boys found them to be another good thing to climb on. Dad was also interested in taking pictures of the new benches to show the students who donated them to IBEX and so  he made Mark sit and smile while he took pictures :-).

 

On a free day before heading Stateside, Todd went out with some friends exploring.  Here he is looking from a military observation post towards Gaza. And at home, Dad tells the boys stories of how he escaped from the Palestinian terrorists who were after him.  Then Dad snuck back around and captured the terrorists and blew up their hiding place!  The boys love it! 

 

In CA, Grandma tells them more tame stories, like how Jesus was nice to his enemies. Luke shows off his burgeoning architectural instinct with a tower taller than himself.

 

The Arab boy-sheikhs Mark and Luke know not to touch Dad's computer, but soon enough they'll be asking for their own. If they're sitting in the chair and smiling while we take pictures, it may be because they think they are delaying their bedtime.
