The Palm




Friday afternoon we had dinner with some great new friends who live on The Palm.  Their backyard is the beach!!  For those of you who don't know The Palm is part of what makes Dubai famous!  It is a group of man-made islands in the shape of a palm tree.  Our new friends live on the very end of one of the "fronds".  The "fronds" are the large divided "leaves" of The Palm.  The kids had an amazing time! They found some pretty cool things in the water.  We left their house that night with a little villa envy....hahahahaha!  Seriously though it would be a really neat place to live!  Our new friends are from California and have two precious daughters that are our girls ages.  They just arrived in Dubai as well and are an ASD family.

Amazing sand dollar!

Our new friend's backyard!  That is a new hotel being built in the background.
Of course there are many cranes!

This is what they have found in the their "backyard!"

This is the life.

Luke was the jellyfish catcher with his little clam shell.
