Too Much Hustle and "Bus"tle

I think that is a great way to sum up our Bain Hazmanim! I don't think I've been on as many buses since we moved to Beitar as I have during the past three weeks! B"H we really had a great time, and we tried to come up with some fun things to keep the kids busy. It was great to spend some nice time as a family, even if we didn't do any "MAJOR" trips!

The truth is that the kids LOVE the bus, I think they'd be happy just to go for a bus ride and then come back! Even little Azriel Shraga loves the bus- he learned how to say "BU" and screams for joy as soon as we start getting on!

Of course Bruria INSISTS on sitting next to Tatty (she has become VERY attached to her father the past few weeks) so the boys sit with me. Yisrael has his eyes glued to the window the entire time, and gives me a running commentary on everything he sees outside. Its a good thing that the ride to Yerushalayim is entertaining -there's three long tunnels- every time we get inside a tunnel, Yisrael exclaims, "It's tunnel time!" and when we get out, Bruria says "Buch Hashem we came out of the tunnel!" Azriel Shraga just tries to climb over all the seats and says hello to the people sitting near us...I guess in a few years he'll be happy to look out the window...

We basically ended up going to Yerushalayim twice a week, and on the rest of the days, we did more "low key" things like going for ice cream, playing in the park, swimming in the backyard, etc.

All in all, it was very enjoyable!
