I just found out that today was Family Day in Israel (it once was Mother's Day).As luck would have it, my daughter and my granddaughter are just now visiting from Australia.
So I say "Happy Mother's Day dear Naomi, mother of three of my grandchildren!"

Here she is sitting in the pouch of a kangaroo.
Niki de Saint Phalle created several dozen of these whimsical animals for the Noah's Ark Sculpture Garden at the zoo in Jerusalem. (Enlarge the photo to see a few.)
Libby learned the Israeli ritual of dipping bagele into a little twisted paper full of za'atar.Yum!
Laughing at the funny lemurs.
Penguin-watching..
It's so nice to have family back here in Israel for Family Day.

ReplyDeleteYour daughter and grandchild are lovely! How wonderful to have them now visiting you. I wish you a happy time together.
ReplyDeleteA Family Day is a good idea.
How life can, how life should be.
ReplyDeletePlease have you all a wonderful time.
We love our children!
ReplyDeleteBut we are totally besotted with our grandchildren :)
well done, Family Day Israeli style.
A family visit, how lovely for you!
ReplyDeleteWonderful, gorgeous photos, Dina! How terrific to be together again. I'll send a link to this post to Tif. She'll love it!
ReplyDeleteHave a great time together!
ReplyDeleteENJOY your family time. Most special.
ReplyDeleteI must admit that at first I thought she was sitting in a big mouth :-)
ReplyDeleteMuch better to have the whole family in a pouch.
Love de Saint Phalle's work!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for you, Dina! I hope you've been having a great time with them.
ReplyDeleteI'd never heard of Niki de Saint Phalle before, but if that kangaroo is typical of her work, I'm going to love her.
What fun you must be having Dina! Are still there to make some snowpeople?
