We have 2 kids, ages 4 and 2. We got this crazy idea to go to Israel for sukkos. BH we have the money to cover the trip, and we are sure as time goes on and the more kids we have the option will likely not be there again.
Will the trip be completely nuts with 2 little kids? Are we nuts to even attempt it?

We did it when the kids were little too, did it with three kids ranging from 2-5 years.
It was great!

Maybe you want to wait for next year - I’m finding my 5 and 3 yr olds a lot easier than last year.

Do it! Do it! It's awesome! My kid still consider those trips the most memorable ones! Sukkos is gorgeous in Eretz Yisrael! Its worth the extra work!

Definitely not nuts. Going anywhere with little kids has its challenges just like every part of life with little kids. But if you have the opportunity and the means, go go go!
