This is what happens when you give a 10 and 13 year old the camera during a roadtrip to Jeddah

This is the villa in which we stayed during a road trip to Jeddah (above).


This is the popular Chevy Lumina SS, lots of torque and little weight.

Our old street in Sharjah, lots of the streets are named after the Prophet's (SAWS) companions

Our old split villa, masha'Allah (split in the sense that it was built for to separate families to live in one structure but with separate entrances, thereby maintaining privacy)
Each major emirate has one of these Etisalat buildings, this one is right across the street from our old villa (above)

You can take the "brother" out of America, but...

An extension of a quasi-traditional American football game during the eids, found us playing in a gated turf lined field. As you can see from the video it was quite nice. There was a second field behind me while I videotaping (not in view).
There are several of these types of fields that can be rented out. We actually played flag football and things got a little physical. The weather was wonderful and the socializing even better.


I was confused on the date, it was actually Tuesday, Dec. 11th. Please, excuse me for being a little silly on the video, it was eid you know.

Hiking to "The End of the Earth"

These are a few photos of a location leaving Riyadh on the Makkah Rd. that is breath taking.
We had a very nice outing, masha'Allah. The kids enjoyed the campfire, especially and the snacks including: hot dogs, sandwiches, chips and of course smores.
