The first visit to Maadi House was for a birthday party, the next day was a carnival. The boys are going to think Egypt is one big party. Before we set them loose at the carnival (with popcorn, cotton candy, and games) we all went swimming.
The water was so warm.

These balls you see in every picture are party favors from the day before. And yes, the kids insisted that we had to take them with us when we left. I think they deflated a few and Calvin stuffed one in his backpack.
The people that you don’t know in these pictures are our friends who let us crash at their house for the past several days. They’re the ones who took us in as complete strangers when we first arrived in Egypt and told us everything we needed to know. Being separated from them is one of the things we regret most about the evacuation. It has been so much fun to spend time with them again.
