News from the Jacobs family in Saudi Arabia
Easter 2016 came a little early as Kai was already off to his Oman trip. Here are a few pictures.
Here are a few random pictures from the last few weeks. Nora ended up convining us that she needs a phone to be able to call us when she when she needs transportation to dance or gymnastics. We got a low-end samsung with a basic plan and she is over the moon. We also had some slow drains in the house so they went to flush the main house drain and, not realizing that the pool was connected, ended up spewing water from the pipes all over the patio. It is likely some got in the pool and, not knowing what was in the pipes, we opted to drain and clean the whole pool. Check out the pictures below.
Suki has now been a member of our household for over two months and is fully adjusted. Her and Webster are not part of the same pack and, though Suki often wants to engage in play that Webster isn’t interested in, they spend a lot of time together especially during naps. Enjoy the pictures.
Here are a few random pictures pulled off of the phones and cameras in January. Enjoy!
Kai and Nora keep us busy in the evenings between Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Volleyball, Band and the range of dance, gymnastics, trampoline and other events. Here are a few pictures from Fall 2015.
Here is an older gallery that included pictures from Nora’s birthday party back in October along with some Halloween pictures that never got posted. Enjoy!
The first full day at Mara Bushtops we had booked a balloon ride in the Masai Mara. We were woken up with coffee and cookies well before dawn and then whisked in a land cruiser into the park. We arrived at the launch site just as dawn was beginning to break. There was not much for us to do as we stood out of the way as the crews scrambled to get the balloon laid out and filled with hot air. Once it started to become bouyant, however, then things moved fast and the had to scramble into the basket while the balloon struggled to fly away and a dozen ground crew members struggled to keep us on the ground.
Once we were airborne the most striking thing is the total silence (if you don’t count the occasional roar of the gas jets as the pilot put more hot air in the balloon). We drifted over the Mara for about an hour and then, after a controlled crash landing, the chase vehicle whisked us away to another omlete station that had sprung up out of the bush.
I’m still clearing out photos from the camera – here are some shots of Kai and Nora practicing their Nestea plunges as well as some pictures of a rainbow after a storm passed through. Enjoy!
If vacation officially ends when you get on the plane to go home then we have only about 60 minutes left. If it ends when you land at the other end then we still have a full 24 hours left. Enjoy these random vacation pictures. Though vacation is ending there are still hundreds of photos to sort through so expect a few more posts in the days to come.
Pictures from a great visit we had to the Post family farm which also included a visit to the Sibley County Fair.
