Sukkah 2007

Today we built our sukkah! Grandpa Stan and Daddy did most of the work, but Zachary also helped out. The weather was beautiful today and this made it even more fun.


Grammy Ellen and Grandpa Stan posed with Daddy and the kids in the doorway as we were finishing up.

Zachary and Zoe checked out how level the ground was in our sukkah. Zoe helped us collect leaves on the ground and Zachary is already insisting on eating in the sukkah.

Camping (again) and apple picking

We braved camping again with Zachary and Zoe. We had a great weekend with our friends Adam, Mona, and Aidan Nolde. This time we went to the Yale Outdoor Center in East Lyme, CT. The weather was perfect.


The kids enjoyed swimming in the lake. The water was very pleasant. And we were able to see some little fish too. Zoe tried eating a few stones and even a snail, but not to worry, we fished those out!


Zachary really enjoyed hanging out in the gazebo. We went both days, several times so he could watch the water, eat, and run in circles with Aidan in the gazebo. Perhaps someday he can build us one in our backyard.
Zoe was happy to eat at the picnic table, but then again she is always happy to eat, and anywhere for that matter.

We went apple picking with the Filhart family so we would have lots of good apples for Rosh Hashana. It was lots of fun and we got a ton (literally) of fruit.


Zachary and Sapir did also help pick fruit as well as taste it. We have never seen Zachary eat so many apples!

Zoe really wanted to drive us home ... but much to her disappointment we felt she still needed to ride in her carseat for the ride home.
