A blog about what daily life was really like in the Middle East and the daily ramblings of an ex-pat mum. That's how I started the blog. We are now home, so I'm just going to continue with life here. I am a deeply committed Christian. I love to teach about and share my faith so you'll see some of that on the blog as well. Got a comment? Please feel to comment at the end of a post. May our Creator's peace be upon you.

Beautiful Day to be alive

Today was an awesome day. We went into Dubai to an area called Satwa and priced aquariums. We're looking at something in the ballpark of 100-120 gallons. Whoop! My living room is gonna have some fishy life in it!

We visited a local dive shop and bought a long sleeve 'rash guard' shirt for Munchkin #1. It helps protect from the sun and jellies.

Then, to top off the day....the tide was heading out so the water was clear and shallow. We got some great pictures on just some regular old beach. Munchkin #2 had great fun chasing the fish. She had on her mask, bathing suit, and rash guard shirt. She'd float quietly along, and then you'd see her shoot off with much splashing - fish had been spotted! Low tide is great because stuff is in feeding, but it's shallow so Munchkins can chase fish but not have to bother with life jackets.

The video is one I shot snorkeling this afternoon. Fish everywhere. We'd swim with the little guys, and then watch via peripheral vision for bigger stuff to swoop in and attempt to catch a meal. Good stuff! And....Munchkin #2 discovered the joy of catching and holding baby crabs. A beautiful day.
