Missing Purim

 The girls missed Purim...so we made our own little dress up party

complete with a delicious pancake breakfast

Matar and her pack

Matar told me "Im part of the horse pack"

From This

 (winter giving its last stand)

To this

in a matter of three days we went from deep snow to warm sun! Crazy Flagstaff spring in deed

Before the snows melt

Last chance for some snow castles before it all melts (you can take the kids out of the beach but you cant take the beach out of the kids! With no real sand, they get creative!)

Yes, spring is in the air!

not just a warm day in the middle of winter. Spring is definitely felt in the air!

Finn loving the spring weather too!

why Finn is called Finn...

 Moran and Finn

 on his back again!

and a couple of videos

A video of mud handstands

and a video of mud running. Sure was a beautiful day!

With Ruby

 Took our friend Ruby to visit the horses. All the girls had lots of fun!

At Lowell observatory

 Then in the afternoon we went to visit the Planets exhibition. These are all blown up "beach balls" representing the relative sizes of the planets. It was so much fun

Ophek explaining to Matar all about the planets

 Then we bought planet stickers and when we got home we put them up on the ceiling. It was a good day indeed!

Ophek's new shoes

Pink and sparkly!

Visiting Make a Difference Day

 In October Ophek worked very hard to clean up this place. We made a site visit and Ophek was very happy to see it clean and nice

Exciting day at the stables

The horses are getting their shoes replaced. The girls (and their friend Fiona) are very excited and curious

Chicken time

Time to chase some chickens

Package arrives

Savta Aviva sent the girls mishloach manot. Even though Purim is over they were super excited! Waited for the mailman in the window all afternoon!

With the babysitter

with their favorite babysitter, Aspen, and their friend Jola

Visiting Daddy

outside aba's office.

Board meeting at our house

Fun dinner with our friends from the Center for Indigenous Music and Culture. Its not all fun and games, this is an official meeting! (thought we all had a good time)

Bison is here!

one whole bison!

no time to waste! time to grill

P-U-R-I-M

The BEST holiday is finally here! Purim...and just like the song, we are excited and happy to wear costumes, make Oznei Haman, give mishloach manot and enjoy this fun time!
