This man and his child didn't know me...they just wanted to take a photo with the blond haired blued eyed boy. I guess I'm pretty popular just because my hair and eye color is different from everyone else here... Mom brought me to the zoo the first time and we had ice cream...so of course every time we come we have to have ice cream! (my Oregonian friends would be shocked at how much "bad food" we eat here!)
One of our beach traditions is to stop for a donut every time. (My parents aren't thrilled...but I remembered from the first time Papa introduced me to them!)
We celebrated National Day this weekend as well as Independence day and the Prophet Mohammed's birthday. We went to my favorite place...THE BEACH! I'm really into riding bikes now...although I don't know how to use the pedals. I just scoot along pushing on the ground!
we've been "holding down the fort" and staying inside for 2 days now as we've had an intense dust storm. Even with all of our windows shut and the curtains closed you can taste the dust in the air.
We have been invited to a desert party at a family farm 10 minutes from the Iraqi border. Phoenix enjoyed the animals...but his favorites where the tractors!
