Bye Bye Baa Baa

This weekend we celebrated Eid el-Adha also known as Eid el-Kabir. To honor this holiday, Muslims sacrifice a sheep to commemorate God sending Ibrahim a sheep to sacrifice in place of his son Ishmael. We celebrated in Skhirat with family. For days now, the smell of sheep has filled the air. In our apartment search, we have seen many a sheep hanging out in the apartment corridors awaiting their destiny. Heres a picture of our two guys before they met their destiny. We met our sheep early Saturday morning. In true Younis style, he had no fear and wanted to run up to those sheep who were quite fiesty and ready to attack so we had to hold him back. The weekend was full of baa baa and then post sacrifice bye bye baa baa. No part of the sheep is wasted and Younis was pretty amazing at recognizing all the sheep parts and saying bye bye baa baa to each one we passed in the kitchen. That became the mantra of the weekend.... bye bye baa baa. Needless to say, we ate well!
We got to spend some nice time at the Skhirat beach. The weather is getting chilly according to people from here, but for us it is lovely with sun and easily warm enough to play in water. We did have a pretty wild rain and wind storm Sunday which brought back warm memories of our home sweet home. We miss everyone in Seattle and would love news so please email us!!
