Friends and Gulf x 2

It's been a busy week, so I am posting these pictures about a week late. We are down to our last 2 weeks, and there is lots to be done at home and work, though we are in good shape overall. Last Friday morning, our friend Abeer came by with her boys for a visit. Faris and Benjamin are only a couple of months apart.

All the kiddos play so nicely together. We are going to miss them when we leave.

Sweet brothers.

Abeer is a wonderful mom. I love this picture of her an her oldest, Firas.

And I love this one too. Yes, our boys have semi automatic play weapons and swords. Welcome to this part of the world!

Later that day, we went to the gulf to walk around and play in the park.

Nice morning by the gulf.

Playing on the beach parks before the temps get too hot.

The next day we went back to the gulf and visited the aquarium and science center. One of our favorite things to do with the boys here. They love seeing the animals and playing at the museum. Now they even enjoy IMAX movies too, but we did not go to one on this day.

Ben has no fear and loves to jump.

Famous fish picture, been in lots of my aquarium blog posts ;)

Checking out the sharks and fish.

The big sandbox at the science center is always a hit.

And the boys figured out how to talk to each other through the tubes. It's fun to watch them play together, they are good buddies.

They lot of garbage cans decorated with recycled materials. Caleb loves monsters and thought this can made of potato chip bags was extra cool.

Afterwards, we enjoyed Bizza Hut...no P's in Arabic :).

After lunch, we played outside for a while.

It was a nice weekend hanging out by the gulf and playing.

This past week, Caleb had a end of year show at pre-school, and it was really nice. Once I get the video from Caleb's teacher next week, I will post about the event. More to come soon. Happy Friday :).
