What we have been up to lately...

A few weeks ago we were invited to a beach day at the Saudi Chevron compound. A nice clean beach, the water was perfect, a barbecue lunch, lots of sun. It was a great day.
I dug myself into a hole, and it got kinda deep. So I kept digging.
It wasn't easy to get everyone out of the water when it was time to go.
We also finally made it to the the Friday Market and had a great time looking around. I found this great candle older (I'm thinking for advent)
David found this copper plate to hang on the wall.
I found this great big copper pot. I've been wanting one like this for a while!
And the girls each found a dress for 1kd (about $3.55) each. However it was well over 100 and the copper was burning fingers just carrying it to the car, so we called it quits then and went home to cool off.
In science we have been studying the desert, so we thought we would make a desert dessert.
That is a "Sprinkle Nile" if you didn't recognize it.
Today we went to the KDD factory (Kuwaiti Danish Dairy)for a feild trip with part of the home school group.
After the tour, they passed out several treats for everyone to try.
They were about sugared out by the end of their third ice cream bar. We even heard one child say she had enough dessert to last her a week!
Mommy even got to try a dairy free "Water Ice" (or popsicle).
Se now wants to work in a factory building/fixing machines and Cai wants to go on field trips to other factories...like one that makes Kindles and cars and other "not food" places.
