Meeting Cousins from Israel

Clara and Emma were excited to wake up at home! After Mommy went to the gym, it was off to Stew Leonard's for a farm visit and some shopping. Clara and Emma enjoyed rice cake snacks and seeing the banana lady dance, the new chickens sing and even liked the monkey doing flips. And, they visited the farm too.

After lunch, which included some deli turkey- a big hit, it was off to nap. Clara and Emma haven't been napping too well since the visit to Maryland, so Mommy may need to do some nap training again. While playing with Mr. Potato Head, Emma put the ears on and asked "where is the hearing aid?" Mommy and Daddy guess that Grandpa Frome taught her what it was and she just remembered. It was very cute.

This afternoon, Clara and Emma got to see Grandma and Grandpa Gornstein and meet Daddy's first cousin Ari and his fiancee Natalya. In fact, Clara and Emma get to go to their wedding in the morning! Clara and Emma enjoyed playing with their hebrew letter toys- magnets and all! They enjoyed time at the water table and thought it was funny when Mommy sprayed them with the hose. The ladies sat at their new picnic table and enjoyed the yummy food. And, Clara and Emma loved the mosquito candle and kept singing "happy to you," and trying to blow them out! After a bath, Clara played with Ari and enjoyed him playing the guitar and she danced and danced to it.
