Visiting Sargon at his pad in Dubai

Our dear friend Sargon was in Dubai to relax for the weekend. He works in Kabul running several of his own businesses and maintains a place in Dubai so he can get a brake now and then. We decided to invade his peace for the weekend and spent the night at his place playing and catching up with one of our favorite people. The kids adore him and Brad and I have known him our entire relationship. Brad actually knew Sargon as a kid in Saudi Arabia. They attended the same American school. Their paths crossed again several years later when Sargon tracked Brad down in Cairo and hired him to direct the HR portion of Bechtel's contract to put out the oil fires from the 1st Gulf War in Kuwait. Since then, Sargon has been part of the family. It's always a treat to be with Sargon. He spoils us and kids rotten and we do our best to return the favor, impossible as it is.

Fun Times at Sargon's Pool

We started at 8am to avoid the heat. It was already over 100 degrees but the pool was well chilled and we had a great time. A great way to start the day!


Chicken Fight!!



The kids and Sargon make a plan to dump Brad in the pool!

The Plan

The Execution

SUCCESS!

Fun on Sargon's Playground
