A Taste of Cappadocia...With a Friend 2

We only had a very quick weekend in Cappadocia with Mason, so Firstborn suggested he might really like to try the ATV riding, since he grew up riding them. The kids all doubled up and off they went to explore the paths and hills and valleys of this beautiful landscape.

Afterwards, the ATV guys airbrushed the kids off!

The final spot we took Mason was one that my dad and CC discovered many years ago when they came to visit us. Back off the beaten path is an ancient Christian church. We knew where we wanted to worship the Lord on Sunday morning.

I love this picture because it shows CC doing what he does best, which is lead our family in the Lord. He read Scripture to us, and we sang beautiful praises in the echoing cavern of this old church. I always wonder...who worshipped there before us? We know that people at Pentecost came from this region.

It was really special to share this place we love so much with Firstborn's dear friend Mason! (Note the ancient crosses carved in the rock behind them.)
