Happy Lag Ba'Omer!

I'm just curious how many people out there recognize this obscure holiday.

Can't think of a better way to celebrate than heading to FW for the Archery Challenge and bonfire afterwards.

 

[CinderellasSister]

nope, don't recognize it, but can it get me a day off of work?

no party - it's the pyromaniacs holiday!!
bonfires late into the night...

i couldn't breathe last night the air was so thick where we live (in Israel) - even in the basement of my house, where my computer is, my eyes were stinging like crazy....

Mazal Tov on the wedding!

I had my Bar Mitzvah on Lag Ba'omer in 1987. This is a day for celebrations, especially weddings.

If you don't know what it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lag_Ba'omer

My kids' school had an outing today, where they had a Walk-a-thon in the park to raise finds for charity.

I have let my beard grow for the last 33+ days, and custom says that today I can shave without a problem. Question is whether I want to - I've grown to like my beard!

A local family has invited many to their home for a bonfire & BBQ. How they can do that without getting in trouble with local government is beyond me, but I'll go & have fun.

Ds6's class had a picnic today. I don't think they let the kindergartners use fireworks, but his eyelashes did look a bit singed when I picked him up... Maybe I should ask the teachers...

I find it amazing what holidays are on that WDW calendar. They have almost everything.

That's one of the many experiences I've never done but would love to do before I die.
