Our boys far far from home

So many have asked how our boys enjoy our stay in Oman. It seems they do enjoy:) Of course Märt says almost daily that he misses granny and grandpas but we all do;) Otherwise the kids enjoy the warm and sunny weathers and possibility to go to the beach. They are really big beach fans, so when they can be on the beach, run around in the water and play in the sand – they are extremely happy! Most of the beaches where we have gone to have been great for the kids: low and with not too high waves (at least when we have been there).

In the mornings they often play outside in the garden. The landlady gave them two 3-wheel bicycles to use and they like to make rally around the villa. They are also very attached to the male servant of the house – the guy who is originally from Africa. Another day he played soccer with them. But our kids do not speak anything but Estonian and the guy does not speak any Estonian of course, so he asked me some Estonian words like “Come” and “Slow” and now he often uses those words:)

Some days ago we also went for a walk in Al Qurm park in Muscat where there were several kids playgrounds but the attractions there seemed too dangerous for small kids, so we took a walk to amusement park nearby where the boys could have a ride on battery-car. Of course, Mihkel could not agree to leave the place any more, so everybody could hear “exotic boy screaming”...

As mentioned in previous post our fair haired boys get lots of attention here and everybody want to touch them. Also, they are the only kids in the evenings here who do not wear cardigan. Evenings here are just enough warm for us while all local kids wear long sleeves in the evenings. It is winter for them after all!
