One of the prettier streets I travel on each day to work. Did I mention I have 17 roundabouts on my way to work and then 17 home? Its crazy!





Here are some pics of my kiddos. They are so fun and cute!
They are working on a shape book.







Al Ain Palace Museum. Very fun place to visit, pretty and peaceful.







The Sheik of Abu Dhabi's family had their OWN school and Holy Quran class.

First sand storm we have experienced since being here. It was awful. It was hard to see and it was HARD on the eyes. We had to stay in all day, the kids did not like that. Its been really windy for 2 days, hope tomorrow is a nicer day.






I pretended it was snow flowing across the road. The wind was howling as well in our windows when I got home. I closed my eyes and for a moment, thought it was a snowstorm howling outside! :)Sad we are missing the inches and inches of snow. Share your pictures with us at abbymcalister@yahoo.com. I remember when we had that much snow when i was growing up. I am a bit sad my kids are missing this.....
Take care and talk more later.
