The following is just a sampling of the 1200 photos taken while we toured this region with Cory, Angie and family, Ben, Michelle and 3 of their 4 kiddos and Mom and Pop Cook.
IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING, we had a fabulous time. It is always rewarding to share our part of the world with loved ones from home but to have all those cousins here running around our home in Abu Dhabi was truly a dream come true!
The time went too quickly...we never slowed down...and we didn't have time to see and do everything we wished for. Ultimately, we made memories, shared laughs and watched the cousins experience parts of the world together that many people will never get to see.
We are forever grateful to Brad's parents for making the entire thing possible by offering to fund the flights for the families. There is no greater gift than that of time together with those we love.
The background music is our theme song.."Today the Sun's On Us". This is quite fitting since we never see clouds here but more so because Brad and I feel that we are truly being "shined" upon. We lead a life of great happiness and joy and clouds rarely come our way. We never have to look far to see others who are in need and suffering and we have so much. Our love for each other and our family grows stronger all the time and we have a comfortable home and all the things we need. On top of all that we have this opportunity to live in a unique situation and watch our children learn and grow in an environment that is shaping their future in a special way. Today the Sun's On Us...It may not be for everyday in the future, but for now..we are loving it!
