Aunty Fe's House

We drove into Nevada last night. We are heading to Las Vegas. You know the saying what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas? Well it doesn't, we'll tell you all about it, because we like you. We found a really nice masjid for Jummah prayers. It was surprisingly big and there were alot of people there. Who knew there would be so many Muslims in Sin City. After Jummah, we went to Aunty Fe's house. It was our first time visiting her. Her house was really nice. Jahana was there visiting too. Aunty Fe made some delicious food, and Alia had been waiting for us to release some butterflies she had raised. It was so cute. We all went outside and very ceremoniously released the butterflies into the world. We really enjoyed that.


We stayed by Aunty Fe for three days. We had so much fun. Ameer and our cousin Tae who is about the same age played together the whole weekend. We stayed up late chatting and really connected. Chang took us out to this really fun hibachi restaurant. We meticulously avoided the strip. There is no need to expose ourselves to sin or temptation. On the last day we were there, Chang made some Korean barbeque. It was so, so good. I don't know what he did to it but it was delicious. We had that with some of his kimichee. The kimichee was so good, we had to steal some. Okay, we didn't really steal it, we are Muslim you know, but we invited ourselves to take some with us. Chang gave us a bunch to take. We'll enjoy that for a long time Inshallah. Farisha joined us for dinner. We were glad to see her. I think the last time we saw her was for Dad's graduation 10 years ago. She has a cute son that played well with Ayoub. It was nice seeing them before we leave for Egypt. I think we're going to miss them.
