Swimming Fun

We have had a few different swimming experiences lately that have been fun!

May 1st was Labor Day here and Tim was off of work! We decided to take a boat out to an island for some beach time. It's funny to think that we went from one island to another island for beach time, but there's not great beaches for swimming on the main island.

Trip to Dubai

Last weekend we took a trip to Dubai! It was a nice time get-away! We flew there with our friend Melissa. She spent her time on the beach, relaxing and soaking in the sun. We, on the other hand, went to the malls and found lots of fun things to do! We went on separate vacations together. That's something, I thought I'd never say.

Picnic at the Park

On Friday after church we went with our friends for a picnic in the park! We had such a great time! It was a little windy, but wasn't too hot or too cold!

We are so thankful for some time to be able to spend time outside before it gets too hot. Once it's hot, we are stuck inside so much.

So we all brought food to share, which was great!

I'm thankful for a bathtub

I know this might sound silly to some of you, but I know we have been blessed to have a bathtub. A lot of places throughout the world do not have bathtubs in their houses. Many places here in the Middle East do not have bathtubs. So, we don't take it for granted!

Our kids can play in the bath for so long some days. Usually they're not ready to get out of the bath when we're ready. Sometimes I read while they're playing, just to let them enjoy it.

I'm thankful for boats

Since we live on an island we see lots of boats around. I love watching them in the evenings, bringing in their fishing nets!

A few weeks ago we got to go on a boat ride. It was a lot of fun! You can see the video below.

I'm thankful for pools

Swimming has been such a great activity for our family! The kids love it and have become so comfortable in the water. I'm always happy when they're happy!

Swimming also helps me with my headaches. I had a chiropractor tell me once that I need to go swimming to help with muscle tension in my shoulders and neck. I've definitely noticed that when I am swimming a lot, my headaches are reduced.
