Our trip to the .....

Today we took the kids on a suprise trip ....and we sure had a lot of fun! We kept the destination(s) a secret from them until we got there- we wanted to build up some suspense and anticipation! Yisrael was really into it, he kept trying to figure out where we were going....and boy was he thrilled when he saw that our first stop was....

The beach! The kids had a blast playing in the sand, and "swimming" in the water!

After that, we drove up to Ramat Gan and went to the Safari- it was really fun- lots of animals came up close to the car, and the kids really enjoyed seeing them! We fethem some pretzels so that they'd come close to us- and they really liked them- the antelope kept licking our car window, looking for more!

In the main zoo section, we saw an elephant nursing its baby, and we also got real close to the giraffes- we started feeding them plants, but of course the zoo staff caught us red-handed!

Finally, we ate supper in the beautiful park next to the zoo- the second largest park in Israel. The kids had fun rolling around in the grass, and I had fun taking pictures!

It was a really nice trip, but we were all exhausted and happy to come home after such a busy day!
