Dubai Activities

More visitors arrived Thursday afternoon including Andy's parents and some friends of my sister-in-law.  That means from Thursday afternoon to Saturday at noon I had 14 people including my family at my house.  There were 8 adults and 6 children aged 20 months to 5 years old.  Sounds like fun??  The adults and children had a very nice time with each other with lots of activities to boot.  Read http://www.jrobfamily.blogspot.com/ for the latest adventures of our family vacation.

I love my sister-in-law being here because (1) she loves to blog and (2) she is a really good writer.  As a result, my blog gets updated quite frequently.  Check out our latest adventure http://www.jrobfamily.blogspot.com/

Visitors

My sister-in-law arrives in just a few hours.  She is coming with my nieces and their, babysitter Kiley.  They've been in India for 9 days and now they are headed to Dubai.  This trip has been planned since we moved here and is now finally here.  There are so many activities from which to choose when you live in a touristy city.  We are going to the Burj Khalifa, Ski Dubai, beach, little league baseball games, Sophie's 3rd birthday party, dhow cruise through the Marina, bus tour, shopping, the pool, and maybe even a waterpark.  Needless to say my 3 little muffins are beyond excited and can't wait to show their family our life here.

Sophia

Look at my muffin #3.  Isn't she the cutest?!?!?!?  Before you wonder why my silly child isn't smiling, let me tell you the conversations her teacher and I had with her.  Sophie knew it was picture day because we began preparations several days in advance.  We went shopping for a new outfit and we practiced smiling.  I said to her, "Sophie, show me your smile for picture day."  She would then give me a cute smile with her nose wrinkled.  Her teacher also talked about big smiles before the class took pictures.  She told her precious 2 year olds to smile.  Well, Sophia didn't follow directions, but I still love her pictures.
