Dani's Bat Mitzvah


We survived another journey with the kids. Last weekend we drove from LA to Berkeley for my cousin Dani's Bat Mitzvah (Dani's in the middle above with the long blonde hair and blue t-shirt). It's a 6-hour drive each way - nothing to sneeze at with two toddlers. Amazingly the kids were pretty okay in the car. We supplied them with endless snacks and songs and were able to make the drive with minimal stops and only a few breakdowns.

We did decide to forgo the actual Bat Mitzvah ceremony, and instead save the kids' good behavior for the reception. They had a great time racing around the party and trying to ingratiate themselves with the older kids. It didn't hurt that there was endless attention and fun to be had with Grammy and Papa throughout the weekend. I'm certainly liking the 2-1 adult to child ratio.
