A Day at The Beach

I know I am dreadfully behind on my blog postings, but bear with me as I try to catch up here.

On March 20th we spent the day at Marcelle and Mazen's beach club The Palms. Sarah and her kiddos were able to come too, but unfortunately Mark had to work. It was an amazing day that I will never forget. We met up in the morning and spent sometime in the pool and Mazen and Ryan played some tennis on the roof-top courts. After that we got everyone dressed and played at the park for a while.

Kids just love to swing!

And here is a video of Calvin doing his new favorite thing: the monkey bars!
After we played at the park awhile we took the kids to the Child Care Center located right there and the adults went to have a nice lunch. It was so nice to know that the kids were safe and having fun just a few yards away while we were able to enjoy a nice quiet lunch with friends. When we finished eating we went and got the kids and took them down to the beach for a little while before we called it a day.

What memories of all our kids playing together on a private beach on the Persian Gulf!

Priceless!

How can I even begin to tell you all what these friendships mean to us. Our children love each other and play together so nicely. And we adults have shared so many fun memories together and become so very close. These are the friendships you keep for life. We are so blessed to have these two families in our lives and will forever cherish our memories with them. God willing we will be reuniting with them on vacations all over the world and creating lots more memories.
