Cousins

Yesterday was such an amazing day, my father, brother, and husband celebrating Father's Day together.  We are trying to figure out how to make the most of our week, I am so happy we have our RV as our home, we don't bother anyone, and everyone can still live their lives and have their routines.  My husband just rented a car, so we can get around with everyone together, we are waiting for the cousins to get home, they go to camp half day until 1pm.

My brother Arkady, his wife Ginger holding Matisyahu - Reed is the oldest cousin 5 in July, Willow, his sister, will be 3 in August, she is winning the race.  Eli Tzvi is inching in on Ziona Sofia in her Tow Mater, she is still learning to ride a bicycle.  We are on the back deck of their house, their yard has humongous trees, and tons of space for kids to play.
My parents have a morning routine of breakfast and exercise, and then they pick up my brother's kids from school and watch them until my brother and his wife get home from work, they are professional grandparents :)  They all live in Atlanta because Ginger, my brother's wife works at the High Museum of Art , it is the most prestigious one in the South, and she is in charge of Education for Public Programs.  Saturday night they had a viewing of a silent movie on a big screen outside, the weather is gorgeous, very Los Angeles like.  They hired a piano player that works for the Library of Congress, and doesn't have a set score, he makes his own composition as the movie goes along.

We get to see my parents at least twice a year, but have not seen my brother for over a year because of their work schedules, it is hard for them to get a good chunk of time for vacation.  I was so excited when Sam had the idea to surprise them in an RV, I love go with the flow, spontaneous adventure, I married the perfect guy!

Overall the trip to Atlanta on the RV was great, the kids and I took turns eating, napping, and sitting in the front with Sam.  I am lucky that they are very social and up for anything, I was telling them we were getting a big house on wheels, and they were excited. 

Yesterday for father's day we went to this amazing public pool, its outside and only open in the summer.  It is lined with rubber on the bottom, so little kids don't get hurt on the concrete, and the water in toddler area is designed for my little Ziona Sofia to walk in it up to her waist.

More adventures to come, today after the cousins get home from camp we are headed to an inside bouncy house playroom.  The kids will have fun, and the adults can hang and chat. LOVE!

Happy, Happy - Joy, Joy

  1. Your brother is very lucky to have his parents so available that way, they have no worries about finding a babysitter outside the working hours...That is a great support.
