Visitors!

I know a post is long overdue.  I have a good excuse though...we've had visitors!  This past week we celebrated being here for six months.  We also said good bye to Grandpa and Grandma R after having them here for almost three weeks.  We had a wonderful time together.  Rather than writing much about it, I will share lots of pictures!

With them came many gluten free treats from Canada.  What a treat for our little miss!

Mom and I went to the market for chicken and instead came back with chicks.  I am not quite sure what came over me.  The girls enjoyed three full days of playing with those 20 cent chicks and then, unfortunately, enjoyed them to their demise.

Horse carriage rides.

Boat rides.

A visit isn't a visit without a camel ride :).

We had a wonderful opportunity to get out of the city for a weekend and go to a resort.  It was fabulous.  Breathing in the fresh (yes, really) air, hearing the birds sing and the kids having the freedom to run around on GREEN grass really refreshed us!

She spent at least 75% of her time in this dolphin swing.

And there was ice cream!

Great times over coffee on the terrace!  Ava was the designated coffee maker for  our few days there.  She took it very seriously.

More camel rides!

Eden and some old stuff.  She enjoys history about as much as I do. At least she had her purse handy.

Ava learning how to make pizza.

And learning how to make bread.

We did still spend some time doing regular things like going to school.  One day Ava even took Grandpa and Grandma to school with her.

It was fun having another adult to ride the ladies car with!

Eden getting some love from some of  the street kids.

We took G &G  to visit some of our dear friends for dinner.  This is their street.

They keep chickens, ducks and pigeons on the roof....farming in the city!

I think Izzy was done with the pictures!
