I found out this week that my 90 year old grandpa goes to the library to read my blog. How cool is that? Hi Grandpa! Hope the Packers give you a win today!

Since I’m not up to continuing the story of our Exodus from Egypt today, I thought I’d post some pictures from our last normal day. Josh’s birthday, January 28th, forever to be known as Egypt’s “Day of Rage.”

We celebrated with a baked donut cake, covered with butter, cinnamon, and sugar while watching the protests in Tahrir Square. We made 1/2 the batch the day before and then it was Carter’s idea to turn the rest of the dough into one big donut cake for Josh’s birthday.

 

Later, we went outside in our backyard where the boys played with our fly zapper. It’s basically an electrified tennis racket that zaps the flies in mid-air. All the crackles and pops you hear on the video are bugs being zapped. They love this thing so much that they insisted on packing it when we evacuated.

Camille sat and ate grass.  
Just a normal day, playing in the sunshine.

Finishing out the night with more news. Happy and oblivious to the fact that we would shortly be evacuated. Not bad for a Day of Rage, right?
