Well, summer weather has officially begun here in Saudi. Today saw a high of 93 and it looks like it should hit 96 by the end of the week. At this rate, we'll be hitting 100 before spring break. I just hope this warm weather heats up the pool soon. We went swimming yesterday and I felt like a big baby. I can tell we've adjusted to the warmness here because the pool felt cold and it took me a good 5 minutes to get in.
School has continued to be busy. Tuesday was the science fair. This is something that I've been working on since November and it was a huge success. We had about 35 elementary projects and 3 high school ones. Not bad for only being the second year of the event. It was so much fun to see the kids explaining their projects and getting excited about their new knowledge. This year we decided to do prizes for the high school kids so we should have more participants next year solely because they will work for a prize.
We were able to take some time after school on Wednesday to try out the new rock climbing shoes we bought. (Katie, you'd be so proud of us) Our school has a climbing wall in the courtyard and we have started climbing and bouldering as a part of our workouts. We're hoping to do some climbing in Thailand when we get their and try our shoes on some real rock.
That's about it for now. Sorry we haven't taken any pictures lately. We'll work on that for next week.
