Friday, they turned on the gas in our apartment :) That means we were able to cook dinner...on the stove! Our first homemade dinner together was spaghetti and green beans. Made the place start to feel like home.
Saturday morning, we walked to the playground that's about a block from our apartment. Thankfully, it's shaded. Colin had fun sliding down the slide with his Dada. There were a couple of guys from the UK kicking around a soccer ball in the field. They were barefoot, and ran around like they were on hot coals. I'm sure the sandy grass felt like hot coals.
Colin thought it would be a good idea to spill his juice all over his shirt on the stroller ride over to the park. Guess he was hot :)
This morning began Operation: Entertain Ourselves while Joe was at work. Couldn't go to the pool or the beach due to lack of baby sunscreen, so we walked to the Dubai Marina Mall which isn't far away (one block past the playground). If we were fortunate, the metro would be open and we could go pretty much anywhere in Dubai. Here's the street entrance:

And the walkway across Sheikh Zayed Rd:
And the Jetsons-like metro station across the street.
Unfortunately....
I wish they would open the darn thing so I could get around!! Instead, we walked past the metro and went to the Marina Mall. We just walked around (exercise for Mama) and sat down at Starbucks for Colin to have a snack.
I tried to read the paper, but this is all I could find:
Colin & I ended up having a pleasant day, which made me hopeful! I made Cheaters Chicken & Dumplings for dinner and then we went to the Emirates Mall. I found an Osh Kosh, Gymboree, and several other kids clothing stores. Luckily, I have allllll the clothes Colin needs until it's cold outside or he needs a 4T! This is a picture of the Mall of the Emirates Atrium.
Inside the mall is the famous Ski Dubai. We didn't go in, just took a few pictures from the windows.
How awesome is that?!? You have to wear a snowsuit because it's so cold in there....in Dubai.
