When we first got to Dubai, now over three years ago, we promised ourselves that we wouldn't be caught up with a lifestyle of over-consumption of high-end presents, experiences and the like. We'd keep things real, so to speak. But, as the daily life moves forward it's hard not to be allow one's self to be sucked in to the many options for fun that exist in this place. Before long we were going to the pool, then the mall, then the water park, then the escape room and, of course, the amusement parks that call this area home.
On this October day we took advantage of the good weather and headed off to one of the amusement parks. Each girl brought a friend and together we did several rounds of the fun and exciting things on offer. Rollercoasters, running around, special theme events, etc., were all on offer and though daddy, largely not interested in the adrenaline rush of near-death-like experiences, opted for watching from afar, the day was a huge success. The girls wore smiles from ear to ear, even if mommy and daddy showed a bit more wear and tear. :-)
For the record, we still still try to focus on the important things - family, friends, natural spaces - but we're also learning (some more quickly than others) of the benefits of having such entertainment spaces within such easy reach. Now, how does one complete with this stuff? :-)
