            Today we took the metro to the Dubai Mall (the world's largest mall. Mom figured out how to get us there and when we went home Eliza figured out how to get us back to the hotel. We went because we went to Kidzania, which is a fake city where kids can pretend to do all sorts of jobs.

Ben and I pretend to be firefighters putting out a fire at the "hotel".
Lots and Lots of smoke!!! so fun!!!


Ben and I made our own lunch at McDonalds!!! You know how there is only one pickle in a mc Donald's burger happy meal? That's because it's a nose! Under every bun, there is a ketchup, pickle and onion face!!!



Ben on the race track

first place!!!


Making clay pots!!!    
The pots take 24 hours to dry and about 5 minutes to make.
The electric pottery wheel spins, so it's so easy to get the cracks out.


                          Ben and I went pearl fishing!!! There were real oysters!!
When you go oyster catching, you have to bring a big net to pick them up.
Then, you cut into the shell with a knife. after that, you must fish through the intestines to get to the pearl.
We went with our homeschool co-op. I also made a milkshake with my new friend Lilly. And we were police and did crowd control. We learned how to be dentists. We earned a degree in Biology and Healthcare at the Bin Mohammad University. We did a weird dance at the top of a theater building. Ben did a pilot simulator and became a pilot. In the simulator, you are flying a jet engine and you have to fly it and land it on an island. Ben's copilot and him did barrel rolls and turned the No Smoking sign off and turned the Seat Belt sign off and tried to crash it except it wouldn't let us. So we just had to land it. Ben turned the engine all the way on and turned off the parking brake button and they just ended up bouncing off the runway.
Ben was also an ER ambulance person. We were couriers and transferred money to the vault. We did these things and earned cash called KidZos and spent it on a toy called a Dizzy Dolphin. It was fun.

Counting in Arabic

That's "welcome" in Arabic! It's pronounced "marhaba". Isn't it gorgeous? My family and I have recently been learning Arabic, and we've just started to move on to the numbers after we finished all the letters. I decided to write a blog post on writing numbers in Arabic because I personally love this language and I wanted to share a bit with you. Bear with me as I run you through this latest crash course, and perhaps I'll learn you a thing or two. Right, first off there are some things you should know before I jump into the numbers. Arabic numerals are written left to right, contrary to the way the words are written. (Right to left) Second off: The decimal point in Arabic is a comma, so to my knowledge, there is no way to distinguish hundreds from thousands, thousands from millions, etc except by counting digits. Zero:  This is a tricky one because it looks just like the decimal point in English, and is even written near the botto

The Abu Dhabi Adventure

        Yes! I can finally say that I have been to Abu Dhabi! This post covers all of the best day yet, so I'm going to try a different tactic this time: Yesterday was Mom's first time driving in the UAE. Based on her reaction, I think that she thinks driving is stressful, because her knuckles were pretty white for the hour it took to drive there. Oh, and guess who saw the first camel? ME!!😄 We looked around some neighborhoods we are thinking of living at, then Mom drove us to a mall for a celebratory "We didn't crash" lunch. Since she was the driver, she got to pick where we ate. We ended up at a French restaurant, where we were served  this gourmet ketchup . At the same place, Henry ordered CocaCola, and it came in this way cool glass bottle. Greta's bear shaped cookie she got for dessert. And now we get to our Beach Adventure. That's Greta, and the picture is at the Abu Dhabi Beach. She's looking for shells and other such

#1: The Flight from Sioux Falls to Chicago       We started off to the airport from my Grandparents' house. My Aunty drove us there so her family could buy our van. Security was hard on my nerves, but fortunately it passed without incident for us. Waiting for the plane wasn't too bad, and it didn't take too terribly long! Then we finally boarded our plane. It wasn't a big one, but I was comfortable enough. My ears adjusted to the pressurized cabin, as we lifted off the runway. I got a window seat on this time, and I spent most of the one hour and forty minutes of the flight staring out the window at the clouds, and the tiny, itty-bitty peasants beneath me. According to Ben, "I can see why google maps puts the ground into squares because that's what it actually looks like! When we flew into Zurich, we flew through the clouds!"  Flying with Dad was great because he could answer all our questions. "They're contrails, short for 'condensatio
