Some Random June Pictures

Here are a few pictures from the month of June so far. Enjoy!

Nora ready for her dance pictures. Believe it or not Ben did the hair. It is more bobby pin than bun.

Summer is here!

Kai and the gang goofing off while waiting for the Wahoo water park to open during his birthday outing.

Another shot with the gang.

Ramadan Kareem everyone!

The kids enjoying dessert in the mall before heading out.

Nora and Crystal at the Boy Scout court of honor.

Kai earned his Scout badge and got his kerchief.

Kai and his buddy goofy off after the court of honor.

Nora mugs for the camera.

This is her grumpy face. Not very convincing.

June 4, 2015

At the end of May we took a weekend trip over to the Ritz Carlton in Bahrain for a bit of R&R before the end-of-year crunch sets in. We booked a club room but ended up being upgraded to the diplotatic suite which gave us plenty of room. Dinner was a Trader Vic’s nearby which had a fabulous menu. All Kai wanted was a cheeseburger and Nora ordered off menu. Noodles. Just Noodles. Totally plain, nothing on them at all.

Nora sips hot chocolate at Ric's Country Kitchen. We don't get there often but it is arguably the best greasy spoon diner on the island.

They also have a courtyard with chickens and rabbits. Always a hit with Kai and Nora.

At the Ritz club lounge.

We limited ourselves to a single drink.

A Plague of Locust

Here are a few recent pictures including the startlingly large grasshopper that spent 12 hours clinging to the screen in our backyard.

Nora at Girl Scouts playing with green corn starch slime or, as she calls it, a non-newtonian fluid.

Kai and Nora on what is quite likely the largest golf ball and golf club in all of Dhahran.

Kai hams it up on some of the scenery while waiting in line at the Wahoo water park.

Nora was game too.

Nora is nervous posing with out locust even with glass between them.

A closer view.

Even closer...

Homework and Pizza

Here are a few recent picture of Nora attempting to get her reading log signed and Kai developing his pizza tossing skills.

Nora and Crystal doing homework

Crystal charges a kiss to sign the reading log

And a hug

Things get goofy

Kai's first shot at making pizza dough like a champ - or at least like Dad.

It took some practice. His first instinct was that all that was involved was throwing the dough in the air and catching it. Challenge enough in that I suppose.

This one looks like it was going up and not coming back. No dough hit the ceiling though.

Eventually Kai's technique evolved to include a decent spin.

A few Random Pics

Here are a few random pictures from recent weeks.

Kai at a Boy Scout fitness test.

For a special treat we made "Monsters of the Deep". Cut a sausage into strips and pierce each one with a bunch of spaghetti. Cook the whole thing and what comes out is a tentacle sort of thing.

2015 Easter

Since Sunday is a school day and a work day the Easter Bunny was good enough to come on a Saturday this year.

2015 Flag Football

Kai and Nora once again had the good fortune of playing in a flag football league run by coaches with a very grounded purpose of kids having fun at all skill levels. Here are a few pictures.

Nora walking back to the line of scrimage.

Nora ran around plenty this day but I could not capture any decent picures except when she was standing still. I guess she is that fast.

Nora plays center.

He doesn't even have the ball and he's going to lose a flag.

2015 Random Spring Pictures

The family blog has been a little bit quiet over the last few weeks with the posts few and far between. Spring is well on us now and the temperate weather seems to we winding down. We did have some sprinkles the last few days but we also had our first 90 degrees and humid day. I think it is only going to get warmer from here on out. Enjoy the pictures.

Nora and Crystal.

Crystal's first selfie. Oddly compelling.

Den 14 presents Den Leader Crystal with a commemorative plaque.

Nora, tired of waiting to have an iphone purchased for her and wanting to drop a hint, takes an "Aging Booth App" picture of mom on her notepad smart phone.

Kai post haircut.

Dinner at Phuket in Al Khobar. A Jacobs family tradition stretching back decades.

Kai packing for his first Boy Scout campout. Spoiler alert. He survives.

Nora with her puppy hat knit by mom. It is a puppy, definitly not a squid in an oil slick.
