Ski Dubai

Every time we have ever gone to Dubai, we always comment about the indoor ski hill and laugh about how crazy it is.  We always thought it was just a hokey touristy thing and never tried it.  We were so wrong, it was a total hoot!  We all had so much fun and we learned that Olivia is a daredevil.  It goes against what you would think her personality would indicate, but she was fearless!  It was nuts to go from +30 Celsius into -2!  The warmth and the sunshine felt great when we were finished!

 Getting all suited up!  Your ticket purchase includes your snowsuit and boots.  It did not include a hat or gloves (we bought some gloves for the girls, but couldn't bring ourselves to buy any for us, considering we have TONS of winter gear at home!).

 All ready!

 This cracked me up!  This is what the Emirates were wearing.

 Tubing!

 This little tube went quickly down the hill!

 Fearless girl getting in the giant ball about to roll down the hill

 You aren't supposed to take pictures of the locals without permission, so I always pretend I am taking a picture of my family to get one in.  I just thought it was so funny that she is wearing her veil while playing in the snow.  She and Aunt Murf kept running into each other and chatting.

 Back in the huge ball!

 On the baby tube hill

 Going down quickly!

Just in case you need some money while in the snow???

The girls playing with the little sleds

 Miss Daredevil went down the luge over and over again.  I went once and that was enough for me!

 They have a penguin show!  You can pay extra to actually go and feed and pet them....maybe next time.  This was pretty cool as we were so close to them.

 Taking a hot chocolate break. We were all freezing!

 Then we took the lift up and back down again to check out the ski hill

 That is Aunt Murf and I behind Mike and the girls

Such a fun day!!
