This week we got the sickies. Addison was home from school for 2 days but had gotten to bring home the class "pet" Fluffy so the second day wasn't too much suffering. And Dad brought home a new and the only bike we now have--so fun and not so fun when we were having a hard time sharing it--just saying...real life. Ryan had the fever a couple days later, after I had babysat for someone else:( I felt horrible and we've prayed specifically for their family that they wouldn't get it since they have new baby twins.
This is what Ryan and dad built on his "stay home sick" day.
Haley had New Beginnings this week and they had a questionnaire for the new girls and their picture out so you can get to know them better. This friend moved her a few days before us and they are from Wichita Kansas.
We started our Saturday adventure at the Hobby Farm. They have a restaurant there called the Chuckwagon and we ate lunch with some friends who was meeting a co-worker there as well. They are from Canada and the wife is from Russia. We came to Saudi about the same time and I recognized her just from seeing her around. This is where the horses are but you have to own your own horse or know someone to be able to go riding. A big disappointment for the girls.
Then these friends asked us to go take them to the four wheelers because they'd seen it on Dave's fb. Ryan and I didn't get to go last time so he was really excited but then frightened a little bit when it actually came time to driving it. So even after Dave's attempt to help him to drive, he ended up driving with mom dad or Addie--she was so tender and went s-l-o-w:)
The water in the back is Half Moon Bay in the Arabian Gulf.

It was really a crazy adventure. It is just this random place with sand all over. We got out and paid for our wheelers and went riding. There were horses there that you could pay to ride. Then a little way off, there was a random camel tied up we just rode by to look at and then a big metal machine behind ?? just out in the middle of no where. We also saw these gliders you could rent and try as well. People also just had their trucks or jeeps and wheelin' around in the sand. It was kind of bizarre.
Haley is on the far right of this picture (below) about to jump. Then the glider in the back.
Jordan wanted to see what it would be like to do a somersault off of his four wheeler down the side of a sand dune....You should ask him how that went sometime. Thankfully we all came back with all of our body pieces attached...some bruised but thankfully that is all.
