Gavriel in Israel

On Friday the 20th, we went swimming with our cousins Leora and Shalom.  My Abba came along too.  We stayed at the pool for four hours.  At the pool, to get used to the water, we went to the kiddie pool.  Then once we got used to the water, we went to the big pool and started playing a game we made up, called Shark.  The game has two humans and one shark.  The shark has to swim and try to catch the humans.  If the shark touches you, then you are "dead" for 10 seconds before you can go back into the game.  When almost all of our lips were blue, we went out of the pool to have snack.  The snack was apples, pretzels, oyster crackers, and soy-sauce crackers.  Then we went into the pool for round two.  Again we started off in the kiddie pool, and when we got used to the water we went into the big pool.  Abba did not go in, but all of us kids did.  This time, we convinced Leora to play shark, and she was the shark.  When she got you, she tickled you.  So I had a plan.  When Leora wasn't looking, I dove into the water and tickled her feet.  Every time I did it, she tickled me, but she never saw me coming, which was good.  When we had to get out of the pool, we had to dry off and get ready to go.  The good part about going was we got to have ice cream.  So while we waited to get picked up, we ate our ice cream.  My ice cream was a Magnum Chocolate, it is like a fudgesicle covered in chocolate.  When our ride was there, we all piled into the car and went home.
