Weekend Treats

Weekends are the BEST! 

We've always enjoyed the extra time with one another, but with the pool two minutes from our doorstep and a cupcake shop downtown, we're in HEAVEN! ...at least Jess is. LOL

No, Thank YOU very munch! 

We couldn't make up our minds...I was surprised
we narrowed it down to just six.

Getting in...

Leif really enjoys the water. It was a bit chilly under the
shade pavilion, but Leif didn't seem to mind.
His new favorite thing is floating on his stomach.

We're in the Homestretch...

In one month, we'll be back in the states enjoying some much needed free time. We have an action packed summer planned and can hardly contain our excitement.

Dust Storm

Yesterday we encountered our first major dust storm. My friend, Amy, and I were hosting 'Games Galore' as an after school activity when we saw the dust wall barreling towards us. Along with the dust came an electric lighting storm. We dismissed the kids early and had them run to their buses before the storm hit. Within 2 minutes the storm hit and with it came wild winds, heavy rain, and SAND! After the sand blew through, it continued to rain. Jordan and I ran to our car and headed home before the roads became rivers. Since Saudi Arabia is sand, when it rains, it floods. On our way home we encountered some deep 'rivers' in intersections, but we made it home safely.
