A picnic we were supposed to go to was cancelled because of rain. With six kids antsy to "doooo somthing" we quickly decided to drive up the the Kinneret (The Sea of Gallilee) and camp (despite the rain.) With no planning and one hour of packing we were on our way. We had a great time!

Here's the crew gathered around the Davidka in Tzfat. The Davidka is a homemade cannon that the Israelis used in the 1948 war for independence. It's effectiveness in intimadating the Arabs was largely due to the incredibly loud sound it made when fired, as opposed to its actual utility as a canon.

This is our kitty, Toolie Cat. He wasn't on the tiyul, but he likes having his picture taken
