The Family's visit and random other things:)

Jelly Belly Factory in Fairfield, CA



Mohammad always has the best ideas....

NOT!

It was amazing, all the pictures they had, like this one of Ronald Reagan, made with jelly beans!



The Suliman Aquatic Center in Newark, CA

We really had a good time here. A really fun indoor swim center--for all ages!


The Jungle

I really liked this shot:)




We spent New Year's in Monterey, CA



I think I overheard a child calling this whale Sandy--it was right infront of a little museum in Monterey.



Nusayba's first dentis visit!

Alhamdulillah, we're fortunate enough to have Muslim women professionals in various fields here in CA. I really wanted Nusayba to see that for herself--Muslim women in such fields.


Nusayba's obsession with slime!



The first time they made putty at school it was wonderful. They got the ratio of glue to liquid starch perfect and the texture was awesome. Nusayba played with it for an hour at school and then we braught some home and she literally played for another hour--straight! I tried to find out what the proportions/ingredients were, but we still haven't figured it out.



Not quite the right texture...

happy nonetheless, walhamduilllah:)


Another day she brought home a different concoction: flour, water, salt with sparkly paint--what a treat:)

Cool slime Nusayba!
Another really easy and weird slime is just cornstarch and water. I think it's just two parts cornstarch and one part water, mix it with your hands and then add more water by DROPS since the consistency can change to water with just a few drops. It was weird, I couldn't keep my hands off it.

Wow! Nusayba sat for the dentist!
