Life in a Hotel ~ Al Ain, UAE

Hello World,

On Saturday, February 8th we moved to the Danat Resort in Al Ain. The hotel was beautiful, there were 3 pools, a playground with a trampoline, a spa, a fitness center and like 6 restaurants. We had two hotel rooms. Ladybug and I shared a room (and we were messy).

While we lived in the hotel, we did our school work, went swimming a lot, and took ice skating lessons at the Al Ain Mall. We also went to church on Fridays, and I went to Seminary on Sundays and Youth Group on Tuesdays. We lived in a hotel for 54 days (this includes the 6 days in the Ibis Hotel).

Swimming and "The Karate Kid"

Hello World,

Yesterday, My family and I went swimming with the Brinton's (except mommy didn't swim...she took pictures). I liked it when S, E and I went in Mikayla's room and my room and played with the Polly Pockets. Then, Brother Brinton ordered pizza for all of us. Then Brother Brinton went to get their van.  Then, the Brinton's took daddy and me to a movie called, "The Karate Kid".  We had popcorn and sprite, I had water. I sat in between S and E. We had little tray things to hold our drink, ticket, popcorn, and napkin. Then, when the movie was over, we all came home and said goodbye. Then we had dinner and went to bed.

Here are some pictures from our time swimming:

Having Fun with Friends!!!

Hello World,

A week ago, we went to the lake with the Brinton's and went on their boat to go for a ride and look around the lake. Then, we went to shore and dropped off Sister Brinton, Mom, and David off. Then, Ladybug, Brother Brinton, Daddy, M, and I tied on the Water tube. Then, Ladybug and I went into the thing, then, off we went, WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I liked riding over the waves. Ladybug, liked it fast! Then, Daddy went in the tube, and got knocked over. Next, Ladybug and Daddy went in the tube and Ladybug almost fell in the lake! Next, it was S and E talking and splashing in the tube. Finally, I took a turn with E and then with S. Then we went back to shore and had lunch and played on the beach for a while. After lunch, everyone climbed into the boat and went sightseeing and swimming. That is when Daddy and Brother Brinton jumped off a cliff! CRAZY!!!

Here are some pictures:

Ladybug and me in the tube. Weee!
