A cool evening in Kuwait

We had a cool spell the last couple of days. This evening it was only 110 degrees, so we decided to walk to a park near our house. 

The park belongs to a pre-school across the street, and it has real grass that is green and watered every day. I say real because some people have astro-turf as their lawn. The play structures are covered this month because the school is on break for the summer, but it will re-open in September. The park is covered with the rubber ground, and it has a track around the playground, soccer field, and lots of space to run. When we first moved here before it got too hot, the park was busy every day. We should see the same in the coming months again.



Meet Tes! She is our nanny who started earlier this week. Rose was our temporary nanny this past month while we were waiting for Tes to arrive. We will miss Rose, but will see her from time to time, since she also works for an Embassy family. Tes is a very sweet woman and is great with the boys. You will hear more about her over time :).

 She colors with Caleb every day, we are getting a nice collection of his artwork started in the playroom.

 After an evening of playing at the park (well, Ben slept the entire time and looks like he never quite woke up), the boys enjoyed a bubble bath and hit the sack.

Happy Wednesday!
