Let the Activities Begin!

After school activities are back in full swing and, with Nora turning 4, she is able to start joining her own.   She started preschool this week and is enrolled in a dance class as well.  Kai has joined cub scouts and is continuing with his soccer team, art school and Karate.  It keeps us all busy after school.  Here are a few pictures.  For those that seem grainy and out of focus that is on purpose.  I was using the hipstamic app on my iphone to get that old-photo-nostalgia.  It takesa very fancy camera to get pictures that bad so easily!

Macro Photography

Towards the end of the summer in Danbury I took my trusty Nikon outside on a cloudy day and proceeded to see what sorts of close-up Macro shots might present themselves.  It was a wet summer so most of the interesting objects of small scale tended to be fungus.   Enjoy the pictures.

A day at the beach

This last week was a very humid one.  With the long weekend we knew we wanted to get to the beach for a morning but we also knew that however hot and humid it was in Dhahran, Ras Tanura would be more so.  Last week one morning dawned that was fairly tolerable so we headed out.  By noon on the way back it was pretty miserable but we still managed a pleasant morning for all of that.

Fishing with Grandpa

One of the coolest activities for Kai and Nora this summer was digging worms and then going fishing with Grandpa Art.  They didn’t hook any fish this summer but then they also didn’t hook any brothers or sisters so that is good at least.
