Visitors from Canada

The boys had a countdown to Grandma and Babu's visit back in February. We packed in A LOT of activities into their short visit. 

Lunch outside

Friends of ours invited us out to the chalet in Umm Bab on the west coast of the country. We stayed the night there and then drove out to Khor Al Udeid, (Inland Sea) to their desert camp which is set up from October to April each year. What an adventure! 







Grandma and Babu saw the boys' soccer game, the Souq Waqif to Will's favourite restaurant, Katara, the Museum of Islamic Arts, The Corniche, The Pearl. We also took them to our school, our garden at the College, Sheikh Faissal's Museum, the Farmer's Market. We enjoyed a few delicious meals out and also cooked up a storm in the kitchen.
