Splish Splash! Yesterday we went to Dreamland Aqua Park in Umm al-Quwain. Umm al-Quwain is one of the northern emirates in the United Arab Emirates. Now, we have been to 4 of the 7 emirates - Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and Umm al-Quwain. Umm al-Quwain appeared to be mostly desert and very quiet. The sand changed from Dubai's light, fine wheat color to a more copper, coarse sand texture. We saw many camels out in the sand dunes and even several herds of goats. Umm al-Quwain is a popular destin
ation here in the UAE for 4-wheeling as the dunes are quite high (dare I say "hill-like"). After going to Wild Wadi water park several times and spending a small fortune, Dreamland was a real treat in that it was less costly, much more age appropriate for smaller children, had more rides, and was not crowded. I
n addition, it was clean and located right next to the natural beaches. Kaleigh's friend Madison came along with us and we really just had a perfect day. The weather was in the mid 80s and it was sunny (of course). We stayed at the park from opening time (10:00 am) until about 3:30. With the park being about an hour from our villa, we wanted to allow the girls time to get back and get settled since the next day was a school day here. At the end of the day, we discovered an area at the park that had miniature horses, monkey, parrots, and peacocks. The animals were beautiful 
and looked very healthy. Lisa will take the girls again on April 22...no school on April 22-23 for parent/teacher conferences! Dwayne will miss out this time as he will be in New Mexico (US) for a Meridium conference as one of the guest speakers. But, this is going to be a popular outing for us, so we'll be back soon. With the raging heat here in late spring and during the summer, Dreamland will offer some much desired relief!!
