Saudi Visitors

We had a very busy and fun time with some good friends this weekend.  The Jettners came to visit as well as some of our closest friends from China, the Boumas.  Both families now work at the same school in Saudi Arabia and drove over to Doha together to see us.  The girls loved seeing Arianna again, and they really bonded with the Bouma's daughter, Avery, whom we last knew when she was only 2 years old.  Also this weekend, we all went to seeShrek the Musical and Justin also had a hockey tournament throughout each day.  It was a crazy weekend, but very fun!

On Saturday, we topped off the weekend by renting a double-decker dow boat in which we brought food, drinks, and swimming gear as a driver took us out to sea and anchored near a little island.  Another family also met up with us - people we worked with last year
who now work for the same company as the Jettners and the Boumas in Saudi.  The boat was awesome, and the kids had a great time swimming.  Taelyn and Justin were the first people to jump off the top floor into the water.  She smacked her leg pretty hard in the jump, but was back up there in no time ready for more thrill. Eventually all the kids and men swam from the boat to the island.  Once the sun set, we had the music on while the kids enjoyed a good dance party on the top floor.

We are so glad our friends came for the weekend, and we all had a great time!
