Visiting Oman....

On Saturday we went to visit our friend and her family.  Our friend works with us and is one of eleven children.  They live in Oman which is just a 5 minute drive to the border.  We love visiting with their family and playing games with the kids.  When we came back from the States this summer we brought side walk chalk and a few other things for them to play with. It's become a tradition to "do" something with them when we go over.  The past two weekends we have played UNO together.  This game works with people who don't speak the same language so it was a good one for all of us.  As you can see from the above picture, Trey loves to tell us when he has Uno (only 1 card left). 

 This is the wonderful mama in the middle. She is a special woman and has a great personality for handling 11 children around her all the time.   In her arms is the youngest and newest member of the family.  Shama is between 4 and 5 months old.

They always make fabulous food.  They stuffed chickens and put them down in a fire pit on hot coals.  Along with it, we had hummus, tabbouleh, french fries, pickles and pita.  Yummy!
