EID Fun at the Mall

This past weekend was the most holy Islamic day, Eid Al-Adha.  The boys had so much fun going to the mall and decorating cookies shaped like the stars and the moon.

Ripley is totally focused on the cookie icing.

Teddy is thrilled with his cookie!

Eid Break: Day 5

Today we drove to Atlantis on the palm to see the Lost Chambers Aquarium. It was out of this world!

The boys watching feeding time at the big tank! 

We found Nemo and Dory! 

Teddy, King of the Sea! 

Eid Break: Day 4

Today we ventured out to the mall (the thing to do in Dubai over holiday) and out into the desert to see a 1950s style food truck rest stop. Very strange and very Dubai!

Eid Break: Day 3

We ventured to the new rain forest exhibit in Dubai called The Green Planet.

It is an amazing four stores indoor rainforest. 

The boys loved the birds, insects, butterflies, and the sloth! 

Eid Break: Day 2

Today we went ice skating...

Then we had a yummy lunch from three food trucks that were tucked into a warehouse in an industrial area near our house. A smart way to still do business despite the heat! 

And we finished the day with a swim in the pool! 

Eid Break: Day 1

Today was our first day back to the beach in Dubai. What a great place to spend a morning!
