Safari Zoo Trip, 2011!!

we just got home from San Diego alhamdulilah...i felt like i have to write something about it. It was a very spacial trip because the whole family was there mashallah! Brothers, sisters in law,cousins, and also a very nice memory of our honeymoon days;) we visited the Safari wild animal park. it was a prefect get away. we saw different animals up close like the lion, the birds, and my favorite one was the Cheetah! it's so pretty subhanallah! we had lunch, walked, and walked in the cold weather.. and later we went to soup plantation for dinner! Then to Hayat Hotel to spend the night, the drive was around 20 min! it felt like forever cus we were SO tired! not to mention that Ammar had no sleep the night before cus of the qyam night at the masjid! we opened our room, prayed, n off to sleep! i think it was around 8pm.

Today the kids were up at Fajer..Ammar went back to sleep n i stayed with the kids, the view from our room was so beautiful, i called baba and told him i wish if u were here with me right now. then we had breakfast with Raghad n Yassir, the food was very good alhamdulilah! then we had a nice walk outside with the kids but it was freezing! then we stopped at this yummy chocolate place! too much calories..but who is counting lol. i felt like all what we did in this trip is eat:) we took off around 4:30 and as soon as we got into the freeway, it started raining like crazy.. then was an accident! so ya it was also another hard drive back..Lana was giving us a hard time too. alhamdulilah we r back, happy, and had great time:) you know it was successful trip when the kids don't wana go home;)

Ammar had to leave us fast for a meeting in the masjid! Allah ya3ty el3afyeh i don't know how he does it mashallah Allah ye7meh.

another week for zaid! last week we singed him in the masjid for the winter break 3 day program, that Ammar organize each year, and he had LOTS of fun alhamdulilah with the kids and with his dad. Ammar said I've never seen this side of zaid ;)

Happy New Year! may Allah bring baraka to our life, time, and Peace, may Allah protect our families and kids.
