Wayne Brickey/The ultimate tour guide

Wayne Brickey was our tour guide! He has been part of our family since he took us on a Church History tour about 8 years ago. He is fun! Not only is he fun, but his knowledge of the gospel runs deep. He is making Papa Covey's dream come true. To come to the Holy Land with all ten children and their spouses has been a dream of his for about ten years, if not longer.
As Wayne puts it...these buses are our MTC on wheels. He was constantly loading our minds with incredible insights and information.

Did someone say we look like tourists? The LDS tour guide fannypacks, transmitters and headphones, cameras, etc. made us obvious targets for the vendors. For you....american...special deal!!!!


Let me introduce you to the whole Covey Clan! Liz and Mike, Sarah and Erick, Christine and Stu, John and Kath, Joey and I, Rachel and Coleman, Wid and Suzy, Mom with Matt behind, Becca with Paul behind, Mary Jane, Papa and Irene and Ryan. How fun is this, all of us together without any kids?! Dream come true. There was nothing better than to spend 10 days with people you love. The laughter was nonstop, the spirit inevitable, the competition a given and the concern for each other a gift.

Another great teaching moment at Masada.
