Marrakech: and what to do with children?

It was Sunday, and so the American family set off.........They were headed for Marrakech's wee little fun fair, for wee little fun kids.  It's called Kawkab Jeux. 

There were tickets to be bought.

The small girl, Skylar, kicked off her shoes.

The blogging Mom also took off her hightops, well, just because.

There was air hockey, pool, and arcade games.  And even the tiniest in the group managed to have a grand time.

There were huge jungle gyms to climb and balls to be thrown.

For the very brave, there were even wild stallions to ride.

It was worth the price of admission just to have a go at the world famous Jum Ping.

As you can see, Jum Ping was only for the highly skilled. (Grown ups should not attempt this without supervision.)

When she tried to get into the rides for the "big kids," the genie with the magic lantern looked suspiciously at the blogging Mom and sent her away. Sniff.........

When it all got too exhausting, parents and their stuffed pets could sit for a spell.

Sadly, after an hour or two it was time to head home. But not before sagely partaking of nutritious food groups.....

Your special power( or, at least one of them)is to make everything you see and do into a fiest for the eyes. Lucky me. Lucky us.

Maryam, I always feel transported to a beautiful and colorful realm when I read your posts - it's like the "real world" only better...The photos were as enchanting as the watchful jinn at the entry to the "big kids" game. Thank you for such a lovely post.

I think that ice cream photo sums up the visual appeal of your blog: yummy colour...everwhere!!

Our styles definitely differ, but that is the beauty of different artistic bents...I love seeing the more vibrant side of things! If you want some cooling down, head on over to my blog...I'd be happy to have you!!

Far away in Canada,

Jum Ping! Hilarious! Reminds me of the restaurant I once came across in the middle of nowhere in Jordan, known as "The Wax." (They meant it to be "candlelight)."
