Wow. We have been in Israel for about 12 days now. And in our new home for about 5 days. At first I was afraid to go anywhere without Jon because well, his Hebrew is better than mine. But then after he asked a cashier for the time, rather than asking her to repeat why she had just said: well, I figured it's okay for me to go out and make a few mistakes.
Like today, I am pretty sure I ordered coffee for myself as well as paying for my kids ice cream. But somehow the coffee never appeared and the line got long again. I decided that my Hebrew skills were not ready to go back at it again. So I gave up on that today. I'll be back at it again soon.
Anyway, back to what is really going on. The three younger kids are attending a camp for olim (immigrants). It runs for three weeks and is run by Modiin. We are one week into it and it has been amazing. The kids are learning Hebrew, making friends, and keeping themselves busy. The big one has been slowly finding things to do. Today he went to minyan alone, then went on a walk alone and then later went to buy pizza for everyone for lunch. Hopefully he will eventually hang out with the four other boys his age on this street. Then again we just got WiFi today so it could be a while.
Stay tuned for my post on how awesome our street is. Seriously.
The kids must be thrilled to be with other kids each day and to try their skills on new and different types of athletics.
ReplyDeleteHow far is the pizza place? Did you get your birthday card?
