Global Village

One of the big tourist attractions in Dubai that we have not yet been to is Global Village.  It is kind of like a world expo with each building representing a different country or a different continent.  We haven't yet been because it's usually only open at night, but we decided to hit the village just as it opened to check it out.  

I promise to take more pictures the next time we go, but here is Teddy playing a life-size version of "Snakes and Ladders." 

Clearly this was the most fun part for the kids because they got to win prizes!  We did have fun walking around the exhibition spaces and eating some yummy food!

Ripley fell asleep in the car after getting his face painted.  He is such a dude!

It was another awesome hockey tournament weekend in the UAE.  Teddy's team, The Dubai Sandstorms, got to take on teams from Al Ain, Abu Dhabi, and Saudi Arabia.  Teddy's team won the gold for his division!

Lauren in the UAE

My best friend from childhood, Lauren Schaad, got a chance to visit us in the UAE this year!  It was so wonderful to show her around this beautiful country and to have some crazy laughs together.
