Adath Picnic!


Petting bunnies, baby chicks, llamas, donkeys and pigs! So fun! Especially with your good friend Batya Rose and her lovely grandparents. Also, catching the last ride on the big fire truck (no line) was awesome! (PS. that is MN State Fair Corn!)

Reading In My 'Nest'

This kid remembers all her books...its amazing. Here she is reading in the 
tent with mom on a rainy day in her 'nest' inside the 'reading tent.'

Mocking


I got Benjamin a hammock for Hannukah this last year. We thought we'd try it out. 
Super fun for relaxing and cuddling. 
Not to mention we can say we were 'mocking' like the cool kids.

Sweet Words


Chaya - "Mom can we take an airplane to go to heaven and see gramma and granny Ina?" 
Me - "Well, that's a nice idea. But, I don't think airplanes can fly that far" 
Chaya- "How do we get there?" 
Me- "Well, I suppose God decides when you can go." 
Chaya - "You mean like Rabbi Aaron?" Me (smiling) "Sort of"
