INDIAN DINNER AT THE COMPOUND RESTAURANT (AKA; COPACABANA)…

We had the best Indian dinner on our 2nd night. Grandma and Grandpa’s treat. It was to die for!

Grandma and baby Aaron.

THE KINGDOM MALL…

VIEWS FROM ABOVE AND BELOW…

“I’M KING OF THE WORLD”

ENTER THE PRINCESS SOUKS…

FOR THE LOVE OF DRESSES!!!

Grandma and I had so much fun buying the dresses and

bartering…

Daddy and Aaron...not so much.

YAHOOOOOO!!!

Here we are on an impromptu quading

adventure in the desert…

Even though Mom fell of her quad, Dad found her and they had a great time!

LIFE ON THE COMPOUND…

It may be hot but it sure is great to cool off by the pool side. Even Riley

thinks so…

AARON’S 1ST SWIM…

TRADITIONALS…This was our favorite store full of beautiful pieces from around the world. We really liked the prayer beads and wooden door…Grandma liked the armoire.

TURKISH DINNER…YUMMMMMM!

BAATHA SOUK…

Grandma’s favorite place in Riyadh…

But Mom and Aaron can’t keep up.

MORE IN BAATHA…

Dad bought his first pair of Saudi sandals in Baatha. We had so much

fun that day…Lot’s of gifts for all of our friends. And

man did we barter in Baatha!

& MORE SHOPPING…

This is where Mom bought Mommy's bracelet from Grandma and Grandpa's longtime friend. He was very happy to pose for a

picture!

And our piece de resistance! Our rosewood

chest….Mom is still in shock.

THAT’S ALL FOR NOW FOLKS…
