Commonwealth Games - Swimming & Boxing!

The Commonwealth Games are going on in our city right now! It's so awesome!!!!
My friend Amberley and I went to our first game the other day! We went to swimming! It was so fun!!!
These pictures aren't great because I took them with my phone. At first we weren't sure if we could bring cameras in or not (confusing rule list) so I didn't bring mine. We found out that day that cameras are allowed now, so the rest of my pictures will be good :)
Anyway, it was awesome! We saw a lot of different swimming events! We had a great time! One great thing about the Commonwealth Games is that the para-events are mixed in with the other events, it was awesome! Here's a picture from one of the para-swimming events. You can see that most of the swimmers only have one arm. There's one guy that doesn't have any legs. They were incredibly fast! They would have killed me in a race! It was awesome!
That same day, Adam and our friend Joe went to see boxing! Joe brought his camera, so we have some fun pictures from him! Adam looks a little scary here :) haha!
Look at this venue! It's awesome!
They had a great time! They watched mostly lightweights but got to see one heavyweight at the end. They had a great time - It was awesome!

Very cool! The CG were in Malaysia in 98... we weren't there (obviously) but the awesome stadiums and infrastructure that came with them are still used regularly! How fun about the para-events!

Comic Con 2013

 Comic Con 2013 just ended.  It was a fun one this year.  This was the 3rd Annual Comic Con here.  We've been to it all 3 years.  It's getting bigger each year!  I think they grew out of their venue this year...it was soooo crowded!  Here's me imitating "Superkudi" :)  Aashini and me :)  For the Love of Comics...  Some guys that were dressed up... the guy on the left isn't in his full attire... He won the CosPlay contest that day... he won a trip to Dubai to their Comic Con!!  This was my favorite costume of the day... Nyan Cat :)  There were lots of people there!  Me and the girls on the 2nd day :)  I had to have at least one jumping picture :) Our friend Ford made a video of the first day... check it out!

Funny Things 2 - American Fair Edition

We just got back from Roadtrip #8 in Macon, GA. It was an awesome trip!! So, before we head out on the next trip, we went to the North Florida Fair! The fair is always famous for it's fried foods... they fried everything!!... They had fried/breaded zucchini, Mushrooms, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Onions, green tomatoes, okra, pickles, etc :) I had a lot of it too - YUM! Now, I'd heard of fried Snickers & twinkies (which they had) but they also had FRIED OREOS & PEANUTBUTTER CUPS :) The fair was cool. They had a shark show and a sea lion show... but our favorite was the pig races :) haha!!! It was hilarious!! Aashini was close up to the race until the pigs came - then she crawled up into Adam's lap really fast :) (as seen below) :) Pig races! haha! Cracks me up!
