More Christmas in Abu Dhabi

Here are a few more picture's from Dad's Christmas Day adventures.
While they were at the Camel Festival, they ate lunch at this Oasis Hotel near the Festival site.
Isn't this an incredible picture, I love the water against the desert.
Inside the Oasis Hotel
This is the market that was part of the Camel festival. Dad was saying that the reed mats you can see in the picture were all along the marketplace.
We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas celebration and that the coming New Year is full of peace, love, joy and happiness.
We love you all!!

Christmas in Abu Dhabi

Dad spent Christmas day at a Camel Festival in the Desert near Abu Dhabi.
Falcon's
Camel's
Such interesting and beautiful animals.
Dad was telling us that when they entered the arena where the camels were being shown, they were taken to the red carpet area and were seated in the nice recliner seating. So glad they treated our Dad like royalty, because we think he's awesome!
I love seeing all the fun picture's that Dad is sending home to us.. What a fun and interesting way to spend the Christmas holiday.

Palace Hotel

Here are a few more pictures from Abu Dhabi:
I don't know if any of you have read, seen or heard about the $11 million dollar Christmas tree (if not, you can do a google search and find several articles) anyway, this tree is in Abu Dhabi at the Palace Hotel.
Dad went and took a few pictures of the Palace Hotel. He's also emailed these to some of you.
If you have an extra Million you need to spend, why not spend it here :) For $1 million dollars, you can spend a week at this very exclusive hotel. And, the only way to get on the property is to have reservations and be a hotel guest.
We hope your enjoying these little glimpses of Abu Dhabi. We are having a lot of fun talking to Dad and learning interesting and fun facts about these exotic locations. We hope you all are enjoying this Christmas season. Love the Curtis Family!

Pictures from Abu Dhabi

Grandpa sent us some pictures from Abu Dhabi. He will be sending out emails with these pictures, but I thought I'd also update our blog for those who he didn't have email addresses.
A Grand Mosque
Abu Dhabi, taken from the North end of the Island. The flag you can see is the National Flag for the United Arab Emirates.
This is the Villa where Grandpa is currently living.
This is the current church building where Grandpa goes to church. They are in the process of finalizing plans to build their own building. Dad says there is quite a mix of people and nationalities in the ward. Along with a mix of professions.

We will continue to post more pictures as we get them. Enjoy!

especially the grandkids!

I will have to admit that up until a couple of months
ago I honestly hadn't heard of Abu Dhabi!
So when we heard that Dad was going to have the
chance to go there and work I googled it!
In my mind I had pictured camels and rolling hills of sand,
and huts for houses! Boy was I wrong!
I am so excited to see the pictures that dad with
take of the amazing buildings and the beaches!
O and check out that Ferrari Roller Coaster!
That would be fun! But the BIG question is
which camel should I have dad bet on for me?

I know that this will be a great adventure for dad
and I am so excited for him to see another part of
the world! And what a beautiful place Abu Dhabi is!
