Going for a "Spin"

Since Yisrael comes home early on Rosh Chodesh, I decided to take the kids for a "spin"- quite literally.  There is a really interesting park in Beitar B (the opposite hill from where we live) which I've passed by a few times, so I decided to take them there.  The whole park is a "spinning park" with different types of equipment that spin and rotate based on the body's weight and movement.  The kids had a really fun time experimenting with their body weight and gravity, and eventually they got the "hang" of it.  They learned how to shift their weight to make themselves spin- what a blast! Of course I also made sure to join in the fun (after all, someone had to demonstrate!)

And where was Nissim during all the excitement? 

Doing what babies do best....sleeping!

A day in the park

Today the weather was gorgeous, so we decided to go up to Park HaShlosha, a beautiful park in the top of Beitar that we only recently discovered. I actually remembered to bring my camera along (I always seem to forget to take it when we go to the park) - and I managed to get some great shots!

Flying High!

Today was an absolutely gorgeous day- sunny, yet cool, with a great breeze. I decided it was just too nice to stay inside, and I figured we might as well really enjoy ourselves- so the kids and I got on a bus and went to one of the biggest, nicest parks in Beitar. We took along our kites and had fun trying to fly them- we did manage to get one kite up (although not for long!) but the other one was not behaving so well. Then they both got all tangled up...B"H I was able to get out all the knots! I think 4 kids, 2 kites and 1 parent is not such a great combination- next time we'll have to bring Tatty too, and we might have better results!

Fun in the park

I always forget to take my camera when we go to the park, but last week I actually remembered- so I had a lot of fun taking pictures. Yisrael rode his tricycle (and shared it with Bruria) and when we got there, there was no one on the swings, so I got to put all three on at once!
