We are so enjoying our "trip around the world" this year in school. So far, we have visited 4 continents and have just entered the 5th (and largest)-- Asia. It has been fun to have other friends using the same curriculum as we've had opportunities to share school adventures with them.
Yesterday, we had some of these friends visit and we learned more about Saudi Arabia together. The kids all wore some type of headcovering-- and we all decided that it pretty much would stink to be a woman there and have to cover everything but your eyes! It's hard to breathe through a scarf!!
We also spent a good bit of time talking about camels and learning some interesting things about how God created them to be uniquely adapted to their environment-- right down to their wide, flat feet that don't sink into the sandy desert.
(experimenting with mock 'camel feet')
We wrapped up our time tasting hummus and flatbread-- all agreed that flatbread was great but there was not such a consensus on the hummus! We were 3 for and 3 against!!
We are blessed to have such great friends that we are able to work AND play with!

I loved your Disney trip report! Looks like you had a lot of fun. I love the picture of everyone in their Saudi Arabia outfits. We did the same camel experiment on Friday too. The kids thought it was neat! Now we are off to India... :)
I'm glad we don't have to wear head coverings! I did pick out Abbie and Emma by their eyes - both beautiful! Thanks for sharing this neat experience on your blog. You are offering such creative ways to learn!
Love to all,
Mom and Anna
