Desert Shenanigans

Last week, before my two older kids left to go back to college, we went out to the desert for some family fun.  We brought a photographer along to capture the day.  Even though no one (except maybe me) was super excited about getting all dolled up for an hour and a half ride out to the dunes, in the end it was so worth it!

Our photographer was a woman who's been living in Abu Dhabi for a long time and really knows how to capture the beauty of the UAE desert and a family's personality at the same time.  She was very patient with us and let us run and jump and laugh and be as goofy as we wanted.  Somehow, we still managed to get some decent shots....

I really like the above pictures.  But the ones below? Even better...

I will treasure these photos forever.  They will remind me of a time when my kids were no longer little, but still not too big. And they will remind me of a time when we lived in a place that was so foreign and so friendly at the same time.
