Summer & Fall 2009

So it has been forever since this place has changed and it's definitely due for an update. Here is some of what went down over the past few months.

We went to the aquarium at the Dubai Mall.



This is the tunnel that takes you through the big tank that faces the mall (see Flat Makenna photos).



One of our trips to the Dubai Kartdrome. On this occasion, we took the youth from the ward and I took photos. Camille is modeling the complete race attire...... she takes it that serious.



#20 is ready to go racing.



Wait, what is this?!?!?



The 'Bump' in September.



We took a trip with some families in the ward to Musandam, which is the northern most part of Oman and maybe a little too close to Iran. We drove up in the morning and went on a Dhow boat cruise around the coast, had lunch, and did some snorkeling. We had a great time although spending 2 hours at the border crossing each way was something I'd like to forget.



This was our Dhow boat. I can't believe we didn't lose any kids over the side.



We ran into the local family of dolphins on our trip.



Camille finally has her sewing machines and has all sorts of little projects going.



This is a shot I took from the balcony at our new apartment in the marina looking toward Dubai.



I made a quick video of our new place.
