Some imfo of family vacation

So reception has been poor up north and iPhone has very short battery life so I haven't spent much tome actually blogging so here is a bit if what we have been up to . we left Jerusalem Sunday morning with an awesome itinerary planned by Ilana . We set out a bit late since we tried to upgrade our rental car for the trip since a tire was leaking and we were nervous we wouldn't nake it all the way but ether gave us a different rAte to upgrade than they gave a day earlier.go figure . Than to delicious tal bagels for some breafast to go and we were off before 10! First stop was apple and plum picking which was researched in advance of course Ilana called when we couldn't find the place and she called
Apparently Ilana made up the fact that she spoke to someone last week who said we could come.clearly they ate not open in July and august what were we thinking! Wouldn't have been so annoying had we not had some obstacles to get there including getting loatand having our lawnmower car climb huge mountain path and shalhevet crying the whole time that her tummy hurts which by the way translates to I am about to pike all
Over he rental
Car my car seat our luggage for vacation um yeah... After cleaning that up and not going fruit picking we were off to nov , a beautiful yeshuh that boSts lots to do. Well the girls
Made peepee on the floor we saw the cows we were going to milk and feed and horses we were going to ride but no
Sign of humans to help
Us in our endeavors. After many long hrs in the car we deczdes to call it quits and check in and go swimming. Wel the hotel was not four stars as promises even though we had two personal greeters in our room upon arrival(mice).after a talk with manager Ilana got us upgraded to nicest site on 7floor with no mice and ocean view from balcony. Room came with wine and we snagged free dinner after a really unproductive day we took the kids swimming and had a blast. Temmima enjoyed mixing with a spoon the pool yedidya loved splashing til his diaper exploded and shalhevet enjoyed puttingher face all the way underneath to water we will post the videos layer . Ok than out to dinner on the kinnerwt in town and off to sleep late will write bout dy two tomorrow long withday three we love and
