Hahgoot Turns 6 Years Old

and Celebrates at Luna Park!

Part 1

Alma and Hahgoot made special rice-pop cupcakes for Hahgoot’s classmates to

celebrate the happy occasion

They tested the treats beforehand and Alma demanded more!

At school Hahgoot got a special “birthday certificate” and a candy bar.

Right on time for her birthday week a large package from the grandparents Atzmon arrived with lovely clothes and new

knitwear (this time according to Hahgoot’s design!)

Hahgoot asked for a wristwatch for her birthday so she got one from us – with unicorns and rainbows, to her delight!

Alma got a beautiful new set (she isn’t wearing it here properly, it was too hot that day)

And even Misty enjoyed the gift (box)...

Aunt Debbie sent a gift as well: a diary to write “all about me”, which is Hahgoot’s favourite subject matter!

Hahgoot liked the diary very much and filled it up enthusiastically with every possible detail and drawing.

Although we didn’t have an official birthday party this year, Hahgoot didn’t give up on a cake, so she got a flower chocolate cake.

Hahgoot enjoyed wearing her new watch to school

every day. She looked at it and said “mum, time moves really fast!”...

About time she noticed how slowly her pace is...

Having the watch certainly helped getting her more

responsible with her morning routine.

At last, the big day of Hahgoot’s Luna Park

birthday arrived!

We had spectacular weather!

We started off with a very long train ride

(over an hour).

Alma didn’t like the clowns at the gate...

We started off with the Ferries Wheel, which is Hahgoot’s favourite thing at the amusement park.

It was her first time on the really big wheel and she was very excited!

The views from high up were great!

Barak and Alma waved at us every time our carriage on the wheel went by them

While Hahgoot and I enjoyed the big wheel, Barak and Alma had fun on the carousel,

in the big swan!

I thought the bins were funny but

Alma was scared of them and

wouldn’t throw anything in the bins or go near

them.

Our good start nearly came to a very sad ending as Barak decided to go and play at a booth where you throw darts to burst balloons and win prizes. Hahgoot immediately started screaming, crying and shaking in horror. I managed to move

her away and calm her down somehow and in a huge effort she pulled herself together. It was a very good time to stop for a picnic... We all enjoyed the healthy snacks and Barak won

some nice Luna Park stickers for his balloon popping efforts.In our next presentation: the fun day continues smoothly!
