| On the road to Dibba, the town where we were to catch a speedboat to the resort. |
 |
| This was amusing because "Dibba" is one of Olivia's many nicknames. Oliva-Dibba-Dibba |
 |
| We made it...about to cross the border. Passports and car insurance ready! |
 |
| Border patrol with machine guns and all..asked for car insurance but not for passports. Said in very labored english "Welcome-To-Oman!" |
 |
| My cell phone immediately began to "roam"..in Arabic. |
 |
| Deric did some fine navigating and got us to this not-so- fancy fishing pier where we caught a speedboat. |
 |
| On the speed boat heading to Zighy Bay. Freshly wiped faces from a cold towel! |
 |
| Mom holding tightly to a sweet-wiggle-worm. |
 |
| WHOOP! Oman here we come! |
 |
| Lilly charms as we check in. |
 |
| This is our villa? Yes!!! |
 |
| Resting up while we wait for luggage to arrive in the room! |
 |
| View from the living room. |
 |
| The beach outside our villa... |
 |
| Again our villa..look at the moutains! |
 |
| Pot of water for cleaning feet. We managed to break the scooper. |
 |
| The entrance to our villa |
 |
| Sassos brought matching pj's for everyone! Even Lilly! So Cute! |
 |
| Our beachside barbecue while the kids ate inside- It was hot! |
 |
| Caroline and Blake heading to the pool..These two are how we all met! They are in the same class. |
 |
| These crabs were all over the beach...They would scurry in from the tide! |
 |
| Of course Deric caught one..It pinched him! |
 |
| Ready to snorkel with the Daddies! |
 |
| Off they go toward those mountains... |
 |
| New skill..backing in when wearing flippers. |
 |
| Go Luke! |
 |
| They saw squid, sting-ray, angelfish, a seasnake.. |
 |
| At the kids club making cupcakes |
 |
| Lilly..where are you? |
 |
| Luke practicing his backing in.. |
 |
| Blake painted this..can you see what is always on her mind? |
 |
| Sometimes you just have to chill on a deer floatie |
 |
| Poor little gimpy crab |
 |
| Having so much fun! |
 |
| Traveling Trooper! |
 |
| Dads got kayaks to take kids out it! |
 |
| Time to go home...boooo-hoooo! |
 |
| Bryant 6 are in this car being driven out of the resort to our car...Had to drive up the mountain to get out...More eye-closing and praying. |
 |
| Views from the drive out- |
 |
| This is how high we were on the drive out... |
 |
| These fellows are everywhere! |
 |
| Good Bye Oman...sniff sniff |
 |
| Back in our car heading out... |
 |
| Back across the border..long line to get across |
