Saudi Style

This weekend we ventured out to the clock tower souk to purchase traditional Saudi couches. We wanted to create a little nook for Leif to play in while Jordan and I were in the kitchen or living room. Last May we had our dinning room furniture removed so we could create this fun play area. It's finally done and Leif loves it.

Exploring an Ancient Ocean Floor

A month after being back, we finally made it back out to the desert! Our friends, Mark and Kristen, had read about a place an hour and a half away where you can find petrified shark teeth. We were all up for the challenge!

Searching for shark teeth
Jordan was the lucky one... he found one 5 minutes into the hunt
After a bit of research, we realized this tooth is millions of years old!

We had a great time getting out of town for a quick excursion. We look forward to cooler temperatures so we can spend more time out in the desert... so much to see and explore!
