Monkey Time!!!!

Shawn, Adah and I went up to Fes to visit our friends for the weekend.  We had a great time...
On Saturday we drove up to Ifrane and saw the monkeys.  You just get out of your car and there they are, it is kind of weird.  We fed them peanuts and some follow you around being kind of aggressive about those peanuts!  Adah loved it.

Shawn also had an interview to work at the American school in Fes, so this may be our new home, we will know more hopefully at the end of the week.

 Adah is getting so big, wanting to walk everywhere herself.

Grandma Squared in Casablanca!!

After our week long trip to Spain with our mom's we had a few days left in Casablanca.  It was great to show them where we grocery shop, live, our friends and the beach.
Adah loved having them around for so long....
Adah playing with her grandmas in the morning.

 Adah hates to get her picture taken!  This is our beach just down the road from us...

Where else do you go if your in Casablanca, Rick's Cafe of course!  Our mom's took us here for a wonderful dinner one night.

 Adah is the center of attention as usual!!

 This was probably the best meal we have had since living here! 

 Shawn and Barb at the bar. 

We of course had to celebrate Adah's 2nd birthday early (she will never know the difference).  She really enjoyed her cake more this year.

 She got two dolls for Christmas so she of course needed a bed for them.  She also got some pots and pans and some play food.  She loves them!!

 She likes the bed for herself much better....

It was sad to see them go but so wonderful they got to spend so much time with us here!
 Over the last month we have decided to not return to GWA next year.  As I write this Shawn is talking to our friends in Fes about a possible job opportunity there.  If not I guess it is back to Michigan and start over....  again!  Please pray that God shows us where he wants us to be, not where we want to be.  Another journey, another adventure......

Grandma's in Spain

Sorry I kind of flaked on the end of the visit with our Mom's.  It has been a little crazy the past month here in Morocco.  I am sitting at our friends house up in Fes with some time on my hands so I thought I would finish this post.....  I hope!

 The castle/ palace in Granada Spain was very cool.  The grounds of the palace would have been beautiful in the spring and summer but we were there in the winter so not so much to look at.  Granada is in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of Spain. 

ALHAMBRA

Our next stop was Cordoba Spain where we went to another famous attraction. 

 CATHEDRAL-MOSQUE of CORDOBA

 I can't even begin to add all the pictures Shawn took of this cathedral.  It was amazing.
This is the ceiling in one of the rooms...

 another ceiling....

It is was huge, it went on forever....

 My mom and Adah.  Adah is in her new wool jacket and hat that Grandma and Grandpa Garver got for her 2nd birthday.  We went shopping the day before and got some good deals.  Barb got me a wool jacket for my birthday, hopefully we can use them someday :)

 The streets of Cordoba...

 Random ancient pillars in the middle of the city.  It is so amazing living in the United States we just don't see OLD stuff like this.

 WE LOVE YOU GRANDMA'S!!!!

 Trying to get Adah to pose in front of our hotel we stayed at, no such luck!!

 Next post, Grandma's in Casablanca!!
