April 20 2014 - A Day In Santa Monica
We decided to go to Santa Monica Pier. Although it is that far from our house, we did not go there for the past few years. We saw some "unusual" individuals, an albino python, a hula-hoop pink girl, a 60-year-old wrapper, a Siberian husky puppy, and a bunch of break-dancers.

June 25 2014 - Alaska Vacation
This summer we decided to go to Alaska, but this time aunt Erika and uncle Pinchas joined us. The cruise started from San Francisco and our first stop was Ketchikan. We had a private tour at the rain forest and enjoyed feeding the reindeer. We also had a chance to see up close a bald eagle. The next stop was Juneau and we went to Mendenhall Glacier. We hiked the trail to Nugget Falls. Then we took a boat tour to see humpback whales. The next stop was Skagway and we took a bus tour to Yukon, Canada. We went to visit a small ranch. We had lunch and the girls played with the puppies and dogs. On the way back we took photos at the famous Yukon signs and even saw some bears. The last place we visited was Victoria, Canada. We took a limo to visit Butchart Gardens and the Empress hotel

June 11 2014 - Kyra Dancing Her Routine
Kyra is performing her dance routine at Retter's studio. She was the only one who actually knew the routine. This time the other dancers could look at the mirror or copy Kyra. However, when they performed it at the Thousand Oak's Theatre, all the girls were completely lost while Kyra was dancing to perfection.

September 6 2014 - Gaby's Bat Mitzvah Service
It is the big day! Gaby did an amazing job. Gaby was poised and confident, absolutely tremendous. The speech was excellent. She got a lot of compliments from the rabbi, chazzan, our friends, and congregation. The rabbi said that he did not want the service to be over and that he is was out of words in response to Gaby's speech. Jillian Miller told Ron and Marina the following " My daughter Sara was excellent a few months ago, but Gaby's performance was the best I ever seen. I have seen a lot of Bar Mitzvah and Bat Mitzvah's services way over 100, and this was the best!
After the service all the guests and congregation were invited for the luncheon we sponsored in honor of this very special occasion.

September 7 2014 - Gaby's Bat Mitzvah Montage
Ron made a photomontage of Gaby since birth. Although is was very nice to see in an eight minute span how Gaby is getting older there was also a sad element. In this photomontage we saw all our family and friend who were part of Gaby's life. We wanted to honor Miriam Raviv (Ron's mother, and Paulina & Solomon Bravo. Gaby, if you are reading this short paragraph, I want you to know that they loved you very very much.

September 7 2014 - Gaby's Bat Mitzvah Party
It is party time! Marina worked so hard to make this event so special. She spent countless of hours designing the gorgeous centerpieces, place cards, invitations, candy buffet, the candles for candle lighting, and finding the beautiful venue (Westlake Village Inn). The party was a huge success. Joe Hecht, our MC, brought his D.J. and team of dancers and got the party going. We really expected just Joe and two dancers, but Joe had his whole team 7-8 including himself and his son. The guests loved Joe, the food, the service, and the venue. Really, how can you not love the view of the lake and ducks? At want point, during the cocktail hour, Ron forgot for a moment that he was actually hosting this beautiful party. Mia and Kyra have prepared for Gaby a surprise and performed their dance routine. Finally, Gaby performed and sang "Thank you to the music" by Abba. All the guests loved it, in particular Lisa Nissanoff who wanted Gaby to sing additional songs. This was such a great party that it was felt a little sad the next day when we realized that this entire event was over.
