Steinbergs in Israel - chag,yad&monster

Had a very enjoyable day today.
Whilst the girls were at school and p'group, I took Rochelle to the Ministry of Welfare in Talpiot where she organised some volunteer work for herself in a soup kitchen.
After dropping Rochelle back home i picked all the girls up around 1. They had all had a good day, but the temp was around 31 and they were a bit warm.
We picked up Rochelle from home and she brought out lunch and icypoles - yay! - and we all drove (again) to Hadassah Hospital to see the Chagall windows. They are so beautiful and i am quite certain the girls truly appreciated coming to see them. They listened to the audio explanation of each window and they were quite captivated by the images and working out all the little hidden nuances.
From there we went 'around the corner' a few km's away to the Yad Kennedy memorial - i.e. JFK memorial. WOW. Very very very impressive and we were all extremely happy we took a detour to it. I've never seen it before, but now i realise it is a MUST see. Although marginally run-down, we were there all by ourselves, and it is perched on the top of a mountain in the middle of a KKL forest. It was so serene and picturesque. In fact the silence that surrounded us was eerily awesome.
We're now just leaving 'monster slide' park where the girls have expelled their last scintilla of energy for the day. Hannah's crying.
Can't wait for Rochelle's dinner of chicken legs...
A great day.
