Visitors!!! Days 2-5

Kiddos playing by the Mosque

So I'm condensing the rest of the days! We had a great time having Zach, Julie, Eli and Jasper here! It was soo good to get to know them, hear about their lives in Hungary and where God is leading them next, share stories with them, go on mini-adventures around Kuwait with them, enjoy some really delicious food, a date night with them, have our kids get along great and be so sad that they had to leave each other (we've heard "I miss the Anderson's" so many times since Friday morning!), paint with Julie, have Dan play Modern Warfare 3 with Zach, have the guys smoke cigars on our roof and hang out and talk and just have fun!!!

We did some serious eating and shopping of American goods :) Krispie Kreme, Caribou Coffee, Taco Bell, PF Chang's and Papa John's :) As well as Express, American Eagle and Pottery Barn Kids!

Zach and Julie toured the Grand Mosque here and enjoyed a tour by a British lady, we did the Duck Park again, visited the Avenues Mall, Marina Mall, Souk Sharq, the Sultan Center (international grocery store for items they can't get in Hungary) and the Heritage Souk! They were INSANE and IMPRESSIVE and ran home from the Kuwait Towers to our house (12 miles)! And walked in the door not even looking like they had broken a sweat!

We are so thankful they came - we had a great time having them here and the kids loved having Eli and Jasper around :) Now we'll just have to figure out where we'll see them next - in a different country or the States???

The guys gaming it - Dan loved having Zach here to play xBox with him!

Julie's amazing painting! I'm still in the process of mine - it will be finished in time for next Christmas, I'm sure!
