National day

It's the 43rd National Day celebrations here in the UAE.  We got a glimpse of a few things like... flags along the roads:

A lot of flags hung on buildings/villas.  This particular row of homes were particularly colorful!

More flags and decals on cars (one of many!):

I've also come to recognize the 7 Emirates in the UAE.  Graham has been singing his songs too that he has learned in school in time for the National Day celebrations:

And finally, some face painting fun at home :-)

We missed out on the fireworks this year. Hopefully we'll be able to see some next year!
