NEW BLOG!

Now that we've left Egypt, I feel a need to record what we did there so when we look back on our time we'll remember it wasn't all homeschool and sleeping. I'll continue to post to this blog until I catch up to the time we left Cairo in June 2010. Our new blog will pick up from that time forward.

Rainy Day visitors

These creatures came into our yard on a cold, wet, rainy day a couple of weeks ago. They were looking for food and shelter. You can see by where they were in our yard that there wasn't much for them to eat--just a few blossoms off the trees.






They tracked all that mud all over the driveway and right outside our downstairs door (also known in the Middle East as the Maid's Entrance--although I'm not sure our maid has used it more than a couple of times. We, however, use it all day every day.) They left quite a mess behind. You can see these aren't 4-H quality show animals but this is pretty typical of the animals you see around here.

What are those? Goats? Did your kids go out to see them?

Yes, those are goats. Ugly, smelly, wet goats. The older kids were at school when they came. The two littlest kids had a great time watching the goats.
