Our Hotel Apt in Dubai...it was amazing. Dubai is only about 1 hour from our home, but we figured once we were at the snow park all day, we would all be tired, so we stayed. We then looked for a car the next day. We hope to have a used one purchased by the end of the month. Renting here is outrageous and we hate to spend the money on something that is not ours! Rydge eating a popsicle and being very messy!

Heading home. Rylan had a fever, AGAIN!

can you tell by his little cheekies. Poor boy.....

Rydge has his jammy shorts on his head!

Rylan got Rydge a new backpack! He was so sick and it made him feel better. Also...peer pressure.....all his friends have rolling backpacks and he MUST as well! :)

Some things NEVER change!

Veggie tasting. Which veggie do you like best?

veggies from souk

This week was a field trip to the fruit and vegie souk. We are doing a unit on fruits and vegies and what better way to learn! The kids all brought money and we had a blast! The fresh vegies are abundant year around, its wonderful. The fruit here is amazing, so many different kinds and so cheap! I know I am eating healthier. The kids love the cucumbers here, even little Rydgee is eating them, loads of them!

Enjoy some pics! The kids have been sick again. Rylan just had a sore throat and headache, while Rydge had a fever for about 5 days, along with headaches and sore throat. I am hoping we are all good so we can hit Ski Dubai this weekend. That was part of Rylan's b-day present. They want so badly to play in snow and let me tell you, its not cheap here. But..we hope its fun. We bought hats, gloves and scarves. They supply you with boots and snow suits when you arrive. We will have pictures when we return on Saturday. Take care

Love,

Abby
