While in Morocco, Saadia and Leila had henna designs put on their hands and feet.

This is one of their favorite things to do on vacation.

This might give everyone a view of how crowded it was in Marrakesh on our trip. Leila had fun though, getting to see everything - thanks to Uncle Abdul.

The market in Marrakesh was really crowded this year, but everyone still had fun and of course who could pass up the orange juice carts - the best.

We traveled to Marrakesh for a weekend and stayed at a hotel that was part of a farm. The girls had a great time in the pool with their cousins and at the same time were able to see the farm and its animals.

We got to see our new cousin Maryam this summer.

She is absolutely adorable.

The girls had a great time visiting all of our family in Morocco this summer.

Saadia was very proud to be able to make a hat for her grandfather in Morocco.

Thank-you to Aunt Julia for all her expertise and help:)

Our usual trip to Tampa Lowry Park Zoo. It started out a bit rainy but this worked to our benefit, making it less crowded.

Leila and Saadia love the sting ray pool.
