Spring Break 2012

We had two weeks off for spring break but decided to just chill here in Saudi. We took a day trip to Bahrain and another trip out to the desert before Rachel left, then we just spent most of our time here at the pool. There really isn't a whole lot to do here outside of the compound other than going shopping, but the compound has a great pool and plenty of kids to play with so it felt like a vacation retreat right here on our compound.


There were plenty of kids here on the compound for our kids to play with so it was a perfect relaxing break.

Sassy is just the cutest little dog. She loves to cuddle.
We had an Easter brunch and Easter egg hunt here at the compound.

One of my projects during the break was to plant flowers in pots on our front porch. It is very brown here in Saudi so it's nice to have some color around. Even the smallest amount of color makes a difference. I'm really not a green thumb, hopefully they will survive for the next few months.
