Thanksgiving Weekend Recap

Well Amira and I had a great Thanksgiving holiday this year. Of course Thanksgiving day we spent at my parents home with my family (previously remarked on "Thinking Out Loud'), which was nice.

For the remainder of the weekend Amira and I spent everyday going to the gym and then to a park near our home. We were so pleased to have such nice weather, and with all the crazy people shopping like it's the 'last supper' or something, the park was truly our calm paradise, alhamdullilah.

We enjoyed a picnic of leftover turkey--sandwiches and soaked up the lovely weather and atmosphere. Amira loved climbing on this one piece of equipment that looked like a rock wall, so had take a video to show Grandpa when he and Grandma return from their cruise. Last year we went on a mini cruise with my family and Grandpa decided he wanted to do the rock wall climbing on the ship, and with great effort he was able to succesfully make it to the top and ring the bell......mabrook to Grandpa. Not bad for a guy in his early 60's. Anyway, since my dad and I like to joke with one another, I decided to take this video of Amira rock wall climbing not only to show him, but to rub it in his face that she successfully does so in a skirt-----effortlessly. :-P

Gotta love family kidding. ;-)
Just wall climbing


Throwing in a slide ride as well.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL@PH
Good one! I laughed so hard with the 'granny' comment.

Absolutely - Dad is in great shape. Moreover, our little weight-lifting competitions between each other is fun. Although I might be able to beat him with leg work--he far exceeds me with upper strength---so kudos to dad.

Salam Dusk Till Dawn,
Amira and I just love the outdoors as well as the gym and dancing thing. Amira's part of the gym area is really cool---makes me wish I was her size again.

Salam Adnan,
Why do you think I take Amira to the park----so she can climb on something else besides me. LOOOOOL Ah, but I don't mind as these are ever precious times. Can't imagine her still wanting to climb and jump on me when she's a young adult....lol
