beautiful day at the "beach house"

We were invited to spend a day at a beach house in the deserts of Kuwait (only a few miles from Saudi Arabia. We loved it!...complete with kittens and battery operated quads. The green garden is very unique to Kuwait's desert so we were reminded of green days in Oregon!

Easter 2011

Caught in the act

here's me being caught in the act of some normal activities during our days here...

a trip to the date seller

dates, or as I fondly call them "date palms" are one of our favorite snacks. They go well in bread, or with peanut butter or by themselves. They grow in abundance here and papa and I love them!

spring break with my "Ohana"

I love having Papa home from school! He's home for a whole week! So far we've started every day with lego time! WAHOO! When mama took this photo I had just found all the pillows in the house and built up a fort for sitting on...

"Splish, Splash, Splosh!"

One of my favorite Thomas the Train video's is about how Thomas plays in puddles and says "Splish, splash, splosh...I'll soon need a wash!". It rained the other day here and Mama and I took a walk on the Corniche (the walk by the gulf). I found ALL the puddles and drove my motorcycle through them while saying "splish, splash, splosh!"...what could be better than that!?

"Park Day"

Thursday (which is the last day of the work week) is "Park Day" for the homeschool group. Here we are, enjoying one of the last days in the park (before it got too hot to play outside during the day)...this week we started meeting to swim...which is what we'll do for the rest of the year.
