News from the Jacobs family in Saudi Arabia
It doesn’t usually take an entire month to work through the last of the vacation photos but this time it did. I’m blaming the network. At any rate, the last images of a fantastic summer vacation are posted on the bencrystal.net website. Enjoy!
Though we’re back to the heat in Saudi there are still a few images left to work through – here are some of the Post’s visit to Danbury and our visit to the Sibley County fair. Kai was allergic to something there (or maybe all of it) so he was a watery eyed mess by the end but both he and Nora still really enjoyed it.
Nora gets her first pair of glasses, biking on the Gandy Dancer trai and more fun on the lake. Check out the website for fresh family pictures.
A few random summer images…
While more snow falls I thought it was a good chance to post some pictures of the last major snowfall a week ago!
We’ve been back in the Kingdom for about two weeks now so we are fully adjusted to the time zone but not yet the heat. We’ve actually had a good run of weather for the last week–it was plenty warm but dry and with a breeze. Starting yesterday the humidity rolled in though; the heat index hit the mid 140’s with an actual high of only about 104. Today the high is supposed to get to 111 and the humidity is still here as the windows are already raining ((When it gets very humid the water condenses on the cool windows of the house and completely fogs them over. When it gets really humid rivulets of water will actually be running off of them. Kai calls this “raining windows.”))
Today’s gallery contains a few pictures of our last couple of days in Danbury, Wisconsin. Enjoy!
Kai and Nora are still too small to spend time down at the lake unsupervised but we did enjoy going down as a group to check out the frogs. Last year the lake was way down (leading to about 30 feet of sandy beach) but this year it came back up a bit. Still, the part that was exposed lake bottom that was sandy last year is now sprouted with weeds as tall as Nora.
