Amidst the drama, have I mentioned how happy we are with what both kids are doing this summer? (I may have, but I am going to say it again!) Millie is finishing her third week at the Haifa Zoo day camp. She has loved it from day one. Most mornings they start with feeding an animal (one day it is honey badgers, the next it might be baboons, and the next it could be camels – like in the picture below). There is swimming or crafts or games, and each day they take care of their “personal animal”. Today they had a field trip to the Eretz Yisrael museum in Tel Aviv. Everyday parents get a message from the counselors (via the WhatsApp group) about what they did, including photos. She will have two more weeks of day camp as the summer winds down.
We have been extremely fortunate to have found a wonderful babysitter for Aviva. She is a medical student at the Technion, from Long Island, and is just more than we could have hoped for. She and Aviva will spend hours at a park; or they will have a beach adventure; or play hide-and-seek in the apartment. Today they went to a craft store to get supplies to make puppets (which is what they are working on in the photo).
But why take my word for it?
The days are long and full, but the kids are alright.
