Desert Challenge

Hi Team.  Sorry it has been so long.  Last weekend we were a little more 'in motion' than normal and competed in the desert challenge and it took a while to recover.  (Yes those are clouds in the below picture.  It rained!!!)


The desert challenge was a two day event where our team participated in various events including building a boat to use in the ocean and a scavenger hunt at night.  Jonathon thought it was the dessert challenge, so he was a little upset when we showed up and there wasn't any cake.

Here are some pictures so you can enjoy the event without having sore muscles like us.

Event fun:



We finished eighth of 27 teams and third of the coed teams.  We were also awarded best team spirit.


Refueling with a typical Arabic meal served on a large platter in the middle of the table:
This week was a great week.  It rained multiple days and I got to hug Sam!  (I can't believe I didn't take a picture.)  The countdown is on until we are in the States to celebrate Christmas break.

Happy birthday McKinley.  Your sweet smile brightens my day.  Happy birthday Joe.  We will watch the Hulk and drink protein powder in your honor.  Happy anniversary Jared and Kaleigh.  I look forward to wishing you well year after year.
