Visiting the Museum at the Sheikh Khalifa Park

We met a friend at a park to play and were originally going to enjoy the water park, until we found out that it doesn’t open until later in the afternoon.  So – we ended up taking the train around the park and stopping at a museum and aquarium.  The aquarium was pretty small, actually super-duper small.  But – the museum was fun for the kids.  They had a little ride that we hopped on board (we were the only ones there) and traveled along a track as we saw mock ups of the history of Abu Dhabi.

Riding along the beach

It was a beautiful day (I know, I know – it’s always a beautiful day here, right?  But soon it will be FREAKIN’ HOT and not quite as beautiful).

So, we decided to take Cameron up to the Corniche so he could ride his bike.  It was a little breezy, so he even wore a jacket.

Chevron Family Fun Night

Alexander had his first night baseball game tonight.  It was so much fun!  It’s sponsored by Chevron and a big truck drives the whole team onto the field and there are announcers and the kids play under the lights.

They had a blast!

Scissor Sisters Concert


My friend Tracy and I went to the Scissor Sisters Concert.  This is a gal I met online through this fantastic forum that I frequent (www.abudhabiwoman.com) and she was helpful with all sorts of questions and we would connect on FB but we hadn’t actually met yet!  So – when I put out a comment about winning free Scissor Sisters tickets and looking for someone to go with me (less than 24 hours notice), she responded.

We met at the Golf Club to eat first (great food by the way) and got to the concert SUPER-early.  In fact we ended up standing right up at the front, near the stage.  The music was fun (not what I typically listen to – but that’s okay) and they put on a great show.  The two singers have amazing chemistry and were fun to watch.
