Bucket List Day: Dubai Edition

We had a wonderful Saturday checking a few items off our bucket list.  First, Ripley and I went to the beach for our last swim in the Arabian Sea.

We then went to the Dubai Frame, which is new to the city and we have heard is a wonderful thing to see.

We went up 150 meters in 55 seconds to the top of the frame to view the city.  The old part of the city is on the left of the frame and the new part of the city is on the right (surprisingly photos from the top didn't turn out well).

The middle of the floor was glass that looked all the way down to the ground.  I was afraid to walk over it at first but, of course, Michael and Ripley loved it.  Teddy...not so much!

We really enjoyed visiting the Dubai Frame!

 Here are a few pictures from outside of the frame!

We took this fun selfie on the exterior of the frame, which is gold with Arabic lettering.

After visiting the Frame, we did a few things that I didn't take pictures of.  We had a light lunch at the Arabian Tea House before heading to the Dubai Mall for a bigger lunch (lunch #2 at our favorite chicken place) and getting my name in Arabic lettering on a necklace.  We also picked up a teapot because why not!

Birthday Presents

Teddy's Birthday Breakfast

Teddy loves the book series Percy Jackson. In the book Percy Jackson is the son of the God Poseidon. His mom makes him blue food so that he always remembers his roots in the sea. I wanted to do the same for Teddy on his 10th birthday!

Ninja Warriors

The boys had a great time at the Ninja Warrior obstacle course at the Dubai Sports Complex.
