Necklace by Areesa

Since school is in session on Sunday,

Areesa' class held a brunch for all the moms.  Bryce's class read us poetry and we enjoyed afternoon tea and cookies.

Areesa's Brunch

We sometimes get the opportunity to take each kid out, without their sibling.  To enjoy a little one on one with mom and dad.  We often forget to document these occasions.  Here are a few from this weekends special brunch, with our little spunky Reese.

Just a note: Reese asked for her necklace to be her long hair this day, see below.

Ramiro's Birthday

Forest Hike

Bryce and his class went to the Scandinavian Forest, to clean up trash and observe nature.  The goal was to compare living and non-living things.  The living (or once living) list was much longer.  The class gathered several bags of trash in about 20 min and had a large bag of plastic recyclables.  We also set a good example for the local school girls.  Curious what we were doing, they came over to help with the trash and asked for an extra bag, to remove the lunch trash they brought in for their picnic that day.

Great Day for a Kite

Today, we headed to the Citadel.  A famous landmark in Jordan, know for it's ancient ruins.  It is also a great open area with lots of space to run around.   Amman can get windy, which makes great kite flying weather, several people bring kites to fly on top of the hill, at the Citadel.

 One of the local boys, admiring Bryce's kite, came to give it a try.
