We have been telling the girls for months now about how Qatar is such a great place for kids. Well since moving here, most of our time outside of school and our home has been shopping for home items, food, a car, and just about everything that a kid would find boring. The girls were finally about to see more about what Qatar has to offer for kids this weekend.
On Saturday, we went to Disney on Ice. This was a pretty big deal. During our last month in South Africa, we noticed that the show was coming there, but it was in August when we wouldn't be there. So when we saw posters for Disney on Ice in Qatar, we knew we had to get them. The show was perfect for the girls. Taelyn was absolutely stunned with the Ariel parts, with her jaw dropped to the floor and constant clapping. Kaelia loved the entire show and paid particular attention to little details like which characters were not on the ice but should have been. She was also full of smiles throughout the show. Afterwards, the girls showed us their own ice skating moves while walking back to the car.
The fun continued today. To celebrate the start of the school year, our company held a Back to School Fun Day with bouncy castles, face painting, animal balloons, popcorn, and cotton candy. This reminded us all of South Africa where these types of activities were available often. Needless to say, the girls had a great time. As we drove home, Taelyn announced that Qatar really is a great place for kids!
