A Cloudy Day at the Beach

3 / 20 / 154 / 5 / 15

The weather forecast called for rain and a dust storm, but we did let that come in the way of the beach day we’d planned with friends.  Instead, we packed up family-sized bento of snacks and our bag of beach toys, convoyed out to Khiran, and hoped for the best.  The afternoon worked out perfectly – the weather was warm but not too hot, the kids played happily, and the rain held out just until we were packing up to leave around 5 o’clock.  It was a lovely day that ended with a filthy munchkin and a long bath, but all good days should end that way, shouldn’t they?

December Beach Day

December Beach Day

Though I truly do miss the rain, cold, and snow of back home this time of year, I really can’t complain about spending December days at the beach in 24 degree weather.  Today’s adventure included a coffee pit stop first thing, a visit to the playground with friends, stories of the sea cuddled up in front of the sea, loads of sand art, and a warm milk for Miss G on the way home.  A lovely morning, to say the least.

An Afternoon in Khiran

10 / 4 / 1410 / 29 / 14

Today we kicked off Brad’s week long Eid vacation with a family trip out to Khiran.  We love it out there.  It’s peaceful and beautiful and you really don’t feel like you’re in Kuwait while there, which makes for a nice break from the everyday.  Of all of our visits, today was by far the busiest with around 25 others spread between several groups {great minds think alike, apparently}, but it was chill and lovely, as always.

A Birthday Party at the Beach

3 / 6 / 143 / 25 / 14

Oh, how we’ve missed the Hilton…  We were invited to a birthday party on the beach this afternoon and it was absolutely beautiful. Grae frolicked in the sand, dipped her toes in the ocean, and loved every minute. I had almost forgotten how much we enjoy our time there.  Needless to say, my pangs for a ridiculously overpriced membership are stronger than ever.  Ugh.

Khiran Beach

2 / 28 / 1410 / 17 / 14

Oh my word… We very possibly may have visited the most beautiful place in Kuwait today – Khiran Beach.  We’d heard about it through several different friends, and today we finally made a point of going.  After a family breakfast at The Early Bird and an early ‘rest time’ for Miss G, we packed up the vehicle and headed waaaay out towards Wafra.  The drive itself was pretty interesting as there were literally hundreds of tents and bouncy castles set up in large pods along the highway, and as we got nearer, several different herds of camels, sheep, and goats.

We followed the directions we’d been given to a tee, but ended up at a point where we were 99% certain we were somewhere very wrong.  We were in the middle of a new residential area, and the place was absolutely deserted.  Several streets were lined with large sand embankments, fences, tractor tires, and ‘Construction Zone – KEEP OUT!’ signs.  What we didn’t realize initially was that that was exactly where we needed to be. After Brad had been sent ahead to scope out what was on the other side of the embankments, we piled out of the vehicle, made our way through a mess of sand and tires, and found this.  An absolutely gorgeous beach all to ourselves.

Despite the fact that it had been raining on the way out and we came dressed in hoodies and scarves, it wasn’t long until Grae was in the water.  Lucky for us, the sun came out and completely made the day.  We enjoyed a picnic, wrote ridiculous things in the sand upon the request of Miss G, and took her home salty, sandy, and exhausted.  It was a good day.

Father’s Day {2013}

6 / 16 / 136 / 22 / 13

After a sleep in for Brad and a pancake breakfast, we packed up some beach things and headed down to the beach to celebrate Father’s Day.  We played in the water, built sand castles, and had a yummy picnic lunch.  Of course Miss G insisted on having her entire body buried in the sand also.  

IMG 9026IMG 9025IMG 9036IMG 9033After a nap for Miss G, we enjoyed a family game of hide-and-seek, some playground time, and dinner out along the river.  It was a good day.
