Vacation 2018-Part 2

While visiting the Hagia Sophia, Isabelle stopped us and said that she wanted to become a follower of Jesus at that very moment! What a special moment!

Which was only briefly interrupted by a request for a picture..haha

These kids have posed for lots of photos, and been kissed and had their cheeks pinched, and have been hugged by strangers, bought treats by strangers....it's all very interesting! We are thankful though.

The hotel owner hosted a bbq for us. Our kids really took a liking to his kids while we were there.




The kids played so well together even though they didn't speak the same language

Vacation 2018-Part 1

The police had a little fun with Bobby. Not sure he thought it was fun.

Waiting for our plane to take us on vacation!!

The kids loved the kiddie goodie bag.

We stayed at an Airbnb in Istanbul that was across from a playground and park. We visited this place every day!

Dinner in the Fish restaurant district

Loved these streets, even if they were uphill climbs for most of them.

Overlooking the Sea of Marmara

We took the kids to an aquarium
