Kindergarten!!!!

Today was Kai’s first day of Kindergarten and what a day it was.  He is going to sleep well tonight!

In the morning they read The Gingerbread Man and in the afternoon they baked some.  I was expecting Kai to bring one home to eat but instead he could barely contain himself with the story that they put in them in the oven to bake but them someone must have opened the door before they were done because all 17 ran out and were last seen headed towards the library.  Tomorrow they are going to continue the search.

In other news, yesterday we got back from a visit to Bahrain to see Aunt Julie and Uncle Eric.  It was Ramadan which meant many things were closed but, more importantly, less traffic during the day which makes things more pleasant all around.   A nice dinner on Wednesday and a little shopping on Thursday (unlike Saudi Arabia, some stores open during the day in Ramadan) made for a nice little trip.  Pictures follow…
