Rosanna opts for the Princess Carriage

Mummy acts her age

Loving it

Hello my loyal subjects

Yee-haah! What a great time in Dubai!

Daddy's Birthday

We spend the day with Sophia Osborne at their new villa in Umm Sequeim

Towelling off after a wee swim

Lotte stays in a bit longer

Meanwhile Jonathan squares up to Daddy on the tennis court

Few people are a match for Daddy's first serve however

Soon the girls want to join in

Ready to receive

Later that night, Mark, Amir & daddy all celebrate their birthday at Bussola, The Westin Dubai

It's too much for some though

Lotte stays awake with the help of the iPhone 4

Time for bed - Happy Birthday Daddy! x

Seeing Old Friends

We enjoy the fine weather and drop in on old chums

Pretending 'to be boys' at the Aylings

Lunch at the Ranches Golf Club with Milla and new baby brother

Off to see Rio in 3D with the Hamiltons

Huge cuddly toys in Mall of The Emirates

The boys work off some excess energy

A suger boost before the activities begin

Lotte waits for the big splash

Here comes Mummy!

Daddy & Rosanna exit The Black Hole

Kyra & Lotte follow suit

Can't stop giggling

Over at Hippo Island, the girls encounter...a hippo

Kyra shows off her gymnastic skills

Giddy up!

Easter 2011 in Dubai

12 Days with Daddy in the UAE!

Chilling out at Oceana on The Palm Jumeirah

Rosanna seems more interested in the iPhone 4 than swimming

Tim & Michelle looking happy

Grants & Rolfes enjoy the free mojitos at sundown

Rosanna teaches Tim how to dance in public

Karaoke later - Don't Stop Believin' Rosanna!

Some of the audience are left unimpressed

Undeterred and singing beautifully
