Passover vacation
The week of Passover, Tyler was off of school. Tiffany, Tyler and Brooke went to the Haifa Zoo with Kristin and William Killpack. The zoo had free admittance for the holiday week. It was a fun outing during Tyler's week off.
At the ZooThe park near the zoo has a merry-go-round and a train. Tyler and William both love trains so we let them ride on it after our morning at the zoo.

Tyler has been peeling his wall stickers off his bedroom wall. We weren't too happy, but we thought this picture of the kids wearing the stickers was cute. Tyler had fun putting the stickers on everyone's tummies.
Sticker timeAbout this next picture, we should clarify that Tyler picked his pajamas (a mismatched set) himself. It's nice to see that our children really do love each other.
How sweetOn Friday, we visited the Sea of Galilee with the Killpacks. It was a beautiful day with a wonderful view of the lake and a perfect picture opportunity.

While we were at the church on the Mount of Beatitudes, one of the nuns wanted to hold Brooke. We don't know if it was the nun's habit or what, but Brooke screamed, and when we set her down, she ran away.
Here in the gardens on the Mount of Beatitudes, Brooke tries her best to keep up with Tyler. She can't run as fast as he can, at least not yet, but she tries.

Brooke loves to climb. It makes us nervous. She seems to have no fear. She also likes to climb on our kitchen chairs and then onto the table. We prefer it when she just climbs into her booster seat. We're always amazed at what she can do with her little body.

The ThinkerTyler-isms:
"Oh no! It's purple night time" - Sunset... it means it is almost bedtime.
"I have a lot of bless yous" - Sneezes
Brooke-isms:
"Tee" - Teeth
"Mama" - Mommy. We think she learned this after Bamba, the Israeli snack.
