News from the Jacobs family in Saudi Arabia
To help Kai get more confident with his bike riding we went out to an empty parking lot on the edge of town where he had lots of room. He would bike far away and then come back and zip past us yelling “Awesome!” The smile on his face in the pictures says it all.
Several month ago when a tree was trimmed outside our back gate we went out with an electric saw and cut up some of the larger branches before gardening had a chance to haul them away. They’ve been drying for sometime and are now great for campfires.
This latest round of pictures came off of my iPhone. I used an application called Hipstamatic that applies photo filters for a range of effects (you can see I prefer the antique filters). The neat thing is that all of the processing is done when the photo is taken. You select the filters and then shoot. What you get is what you get — there is no going back an applying different filters to the same shot.
This is a wonderful time of year in Saudi Arabia (weather wise) and it’s the only time to plant flowers and such (it gives them a few months to grow before the summer heat scorches them). As always, Kai and Nora are game to help out.
These pictures are from a little while ago but we have started the process of getting Kai out of his training wheels. The next step will be to go to a big empty parking lot on the edge of town where he has some room wobble.
