Last Day Off in Kuwait

Dan had a day to take off, so he took off this past Sunday!  We went to the pool in the morning and then wanted to do something fun in the afternoon.  We talked about Kidzania, which is supposed to be amazing, but decided against it...and instead decided to go to Infunity at 360 Mall.  We got there at 3pm even knowing it was still Ramadan - and not surprising, it didn't open until 7pm.  We went back home then came back at 7pm.  We had the place to ourselves, because 7pm is Iftar (when Muslims break their fast for the day) is taken.  Everyone else was home having a meal and celebration with their family so it was pretty quiet :)  

 Arrival at Infunity - super excited for it!  It has arcade games and some indoor amusement park rides...a roller coaster, go karts, etc.

 Our family!

 Jack and Dan getting ready to start the roller coaster!
I told the kids that if we went, we all had to go on the roller coaster - no fussing.  
Jack looked like he was going to be sick as we watched them go through...

 And the girls before I got in the car next to Kylie :)  
Kylie SCREAMED (not in a good fun way, but in a terrified blood curling screaming way) the whole time.  Megan looked like she was going to puke.  Seriously.  They did not like it one bit.  But they went on it. Dan has pics of us on his phone that I will have to post here shortly...they are funny, I'm sure.

 We all enjoyed playing games and trying to win tickets...Kylie wanted to ride on this horse :)

 Jack wanted to do the rock wall!
Getting his shoes on.

 Starting the climb.  He was so quick and made it look so easy!

 He got to the top in no time at all - it looked like he was climbing a ladder, then made it down.

 When he reached the bottom, the guy said he could go again...on a harder one. He finished that quickly and then went on a harder one.  That was a bit tougher, but he was super fast with all of them and had a great time!

 Then Dan, Megan, Jack and Kylie did bumper cars :)  We all went on go karts earlier (with Kylie riding with me) but I didn't get any pics.

 Megan

 Jack
 Dan and Jack

 All four of them!

 Getting gently (seriously, she would coast up to the kids or Dan and just lightly tap them) bumped by Kylie

 Then they went on the carousel!

 Kylie and Megan

 We got a family pic on the way out...before getting dinner...

 ...and Marble Slab milkshakes!  Dan got Birthday Cake, Megan got Red Velvet and Jack, Kylie and I got chocolate!  

And to top it all off...found Ramadan donuts from Dunkin Donuts!  In the shapes of Stars and Crescents...because you fast during the day of Ramadan and celebrate at night!
