A new house and a little fun in the snow!

Yes we finally have a house!! What an experience that was.... lots of shonky agents and not enough nice 'clean' properties!
We have rented an apartment in the Burj Residences which is directly on the fountain lake (we would call it a pool in Oz)that surrounds the Burj Khalifa, Old Town and Dubai Mall. We have 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, maids quarters and a massive open plan lounge, dining, kitchen with a good sized balcony. We chose the building for the facilities and proximity to everything.... we are thinking we will no longer need a car in such a hurry!! Our building has a large pool, kids pool, playgrounds (one outside and one indoors), gym centre and squash courts. Will post some photo's soon.
We now just have to wait 6 more sleeps til we can move in..... providing our visa's are complete so we can have utilities connected and they will release our container from the docks but that is another story.

To celebrate finally having a day to relax and breathe we took Piper on an adventure to Ski Dubai at Mall of the Emirates (15 min taxi ride from our new home). Finally Piper's incredible talking ability came in handy and we convinced them she was 3 years old!

It turns out our bub is quite the dare devil and has a need for speed (the Poppie gene in her I think). We thought she would hate it but Naz threw her in the rubber tube and pushed her down the toboggon run where I was waiting to catch her at the bottom. I was waiting for tears but instead was greeted with "more more", "faster faster" as you will see below.
Take off

See Mum, told you I would be fine!

Well I am back in the office from today (my work week is Sunday - Thursday) so who know what adventures Naz and Piper are going to get up to this week to escape the hotel.
It feels a million miles from home today, I logged onto Facebook and read some local Melbourne news online only to be greeted by lots of status updates and news about Spring Racing Carnival and Bathurst! Hope you all had a great weekend xo
