Saudi Fun!

What happens when you get a few bored Saudi housewives together and form a mini tennis team? A lot of fun!! This was of course all spear headed by Heather and it was one of my favorite days I've ever had in Saudi! We took hilarious tennis team pictures. Our stomachs all hurt from laughing so hard!

The girls have been enjoying the beach weather! This was from a few weeks ago that I forgot to add!

The next week, it was cold again! Elise loves wearing her Star Wars sweater!

This little sassy girl likes to pose for her pictures!

Elise was thrilled that she lost yet another tooth! The tooth fairy surprised her with glitter and Saudi Riyals (that she saves for the Willie's in America!).

We had a fun day in Bahrain with Travis's parents. We took the girls shopping and then had brunch at the Four Seasons again. Their kids club is amazing!

Elise was so excited her soccer team won first place in the tournament! She scored a goal! We are proud of our little athlete!

Whenever it's "Love's Day" Claire gets out bed and waits by the door for her! She is always so happy to see her.

We have had a few bad dust storms the last few weeks.

Claire had her pre-K registration this week. I can't believe she is ready to start next Fall. I'm going to miss her.

We tried a Filipino restaurant in old Jubail this week called Pansitan. The food was amazing!

Starting our fourth year...

Elise was excited to wear her soccer bows to soccer. She looks forward to it every week!

Claire is always dancing on the sidelines. 

It's hard for me to believe, but we have finished our third year in Saudi. I can't believe that we have been here for three years. Heather made a cake for us to celebrate and we smuggled sparklers in for the kids!

Heather brought us back mud from the Dead Sea. We  had a spa day down at the beach. It made our skin so soft!!

We celebrated Dr. Seuss day with wacky colored cookies, green eggs, and bacon!

A good friend left us their kayak when they repatriated, so Josh took it out this weekend. The girls all had a blast taking turns riding on it. Needless to say after a few hours, Josh was exhausted! ha!

Elise woke up the morning of the Spring Spectacular day and was full of energy! She couldn't wait to play the games and eat yummy food! Claire was excited about the horses. Unfortunately, the Saudi skies opened up and it poured down rain all afternoon. We ended up only staying a few hours. We still had a good time!

Claire smiled nicely when I said to do a silly face!

She loved the American food stand!

They were so excited to see BeBe and Papa who had returned from their long trip. They were all over them!

When we left the party, the entrance to the school was blocked off. Whenever we are in the school, it's abaya free. However, to get to our bus on this day we had to go out in the middle of a public parking lot. This is the first time we've ever been abaya free in Saudi! We had to run to to the bus, but of course had to get the obligatory picture--and to make it even better, we were in front of a mosque.

Claire wanted me to take a picture of her pink hair!
