Father daughter bonding

Well I know that we have already done a "best things to do in Saudi" post but I just found one that trumps them all. Two words: lizard catching. May sound lame and something you did when you were kids but pretty sure the lizards back home looked a little different than this.

Now this is a real father daughter bonding moment. My favorite part is when he says "Hold his head down with all your strength. Don't let him turn around and bite you." And what, let the flesh eating dinosaur bite my hand off? Sure dad, I've got him. I'm pretty sure I would be running the opposite direction as soon as it started to do that hissing body shrinking thing.

Awww, isn't that adorable. Now she's holding the flesh eating lizard and named him Spike. I would have named him Terrifying. Have to say that's about the bravest little girl I've ever seen though.

Well another lesson of what to do if you ever find yourself in Saudi Arabia with nothing to do. My Saudi friend reasured me that lizard catching is a fun and exciting part of Saudi culture and one that he did all the time when he was a kid. It's a crazy place but I'm sure American culture seems crazy to everybody else too. Love you all and keep in touch!
