Lets See

We havent posted for a while, so it's time for an Aronin Update. Now, lets see. Uhhh.....Hmmmm. Oh! I know! Michal went to the dentist today... but with all of Yosef and Lisa's stories about dentists, thats not so exciting (no cavities).
Well, none of us are in school, so no news there. We haven't traveled anywhere either, so that's not news.


Umm.... I guess that's why we haven't posted in a while.

Update: Rucky reminded me that we did travel . We went on staycation to Rockford for two days. On day one, we went to a historic house. They are usually closed this time of year, so we got a personal tour! It was fun, and thank G-d the kids didn't break anything. Interesting point: It was built next to an Indian burial mound. Being a kohein, that could be a problem, but I checked it out, and I think it was ok.
Next we went to an indoor playground thing, with the climbing tubes and stuff, that was in the same building as an ice rink. We just missed open skate, but it seems I was the only one who wanted to go ice skating anyway. We were there for like an hour or so, and the kids had a great time, especially Dasi. Who knew a kid that young could be so agile!
Then we went to the hotel, a Hilton Garden Inn. It was very nice. We went to the pool that was a bit on the chilly side (Michal's lips turned blue), but they had a very shallow end (I think it was 2 inches) with kids slides. You should have seen Shalom's face when he slid into the cool water! I got to hang out in the hot tub for a bit.
The next day, we went to the children's museum that Rucky used to go to every Pesach. It was New Years Eve, so beginning at 1 pm they counted down the hour because "It's New Years somewhere!". The kids also made noise makers. (Of course the rule was no using them in the car) After that we headed home.
I'd say the best part of the trip was the food. That's the best part of any trip, the food you bring along. We had the basics: deli, chips, pretzels, Gushers, and canned vegetables. MMM MMM!
And that was our staycation.

  1. Come on, there has to be something. Maybe Hadassah has started rolling over, or Michal graduated out of diapers recently or maybe Shalom tied Dovi's shoelaces together really tightly one Shabbos? And for sure one of those two older ones said something really cute since the last time you posted . . . .

  2. I thought staycation meant you stayed home.

    we all liked that museum for the gift shop -- admit it rucky.

  3. We take staycation to mean you stay near home. I will admit I did like the gift shop, especially the rock pencils. Fortunately, we did not visit the gift shop this time around. I don't think that would have been a fun experience. (Although it would have been interesting to check if they still had those pencils.)
