More Visitors from Israel...and Chicago

My cousin, Michal, and her husband, Itay, came to the States from Israel for a vacation. They were able to spend this last weekend with us in Utah. My sister, Avriel, and her boyfriend, Jay, were able to come out from Chicago for the weekend as well!! We had such a GREAT time while they were all here.

We all went to watch Joseph's band play for a Walk to End Alzheimer's benefit. Here is Av being carried off by a Sasquatch!!! Harley Davidson was one of the sponsors.

Oh, so I must mention that most of the pictures in this post were taken with Itay's AMAZING camera!! I think you will be able to tell the difference between which ones were from my camera and which were from his. The band was playing in this gazebo at the Shops at the Riverwoods in Provo. The atmosphere there was great! And, Kindle Creek did a great job, as always!!

Hanging out with Michal listening to the band.

The girls had such a great time. They were both really enjoying the music. Nora is seriously such a fun little dancer, and she actually moves to the beat!!

Love this shot of Fanny watching her daddy play that fiddle!

After the concert, we drove on what is called the Alpine Loop and got to see some beautiful sights up in the mountains. I LOVE Autumn!! The colors this year are so vibrant, it was really stunning!

Jay, Avriel, Michal, Itay, Joseph, Nora, Me and Fanny

Did I mention that I LOVE Itay's camera?!

SO CUTE!!!

At little stop for a nice walk around Cascade Springs.

Ha ha!! This was just too funny to not post. Both on their cell phones.

I don't know why, I just really like this picture.

I really like this one, too!

Fanny was "helping" me make Oreo Truffles.

She REALLY enjoyed them when they were done, as did everyone else! Mmmm, yum, yum!! Fanny looked like a little hillbilly with missing teeth as she was eating her truffle.

We also got to go to Park City and enjoy a beautiful day at the Olympic Park.

Itay took a lot of pictures of the skiers practicing their jumps into the pool. This one just made me laugh when I saw it because this guy looks like some kind of super hero flying through the air on a very important mission, or something like that =).

Some people say, you know they can't believe, Jay and Avriel were a bobsled team!

Ha ha!! So cheesy!! Such a GREAT picture!!

We had a fun time waiting for Avriel and Jay's turn to go down the bobsled run.

Fanny was having trouble getting under the railing, so Jay helped her out by showing her how it should be done. Love it!!

Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up, it's bobsled time!

Turns out it was one ROUGH ride! They were glad they did it, but won't ever do it again. We really had such a wonderful time with everyone. The weekend went by so quickly, too quickly. It was great to meet Itay and Jay!! Can't wait for the next time we will all be able to get together again. Missing everyone already!!! Thank you all for coming!

L'shana Tovah to all reading this as well! Happy (Jewish) New Year!!!
