CWG - Diving!

On Wednesday we went to see Diving at the Commonwealth Games. The Swimming arena is pretty close to a McDonald's that serves breakfast, so we met up with Joe, Amberley and Kristin before the games started :) This isn't a good picture, but I liked it :) Aashini gets jealous when Diya gets in a high chair now and wants to be in one too :)
Here we are posing like the girls behind us... well, attempting to pose like those girls :) haha!
On this day we saw diving! We saw women's 3 meter springboard and men's 10 meter platform. None of my pictures from this arena are great, but it's fun to see the different poses you can catch divers in with a camera :) This one isn't that funny, but it's one of the only ones I had of the women - we couldn't see them as well and the springboard wasn't as exciting :)
I thought Diya looked so big sitting in her chair :)
Platform diving was crazy! They did some crazy stuff!!
My attempt at getting us all in one picture :)
The stadium is really nice! The cheap seats (which we were in for this one) were really uncomfortable though! The seats were high off the ground, so only my toes touched the ground! It sort of cut off my circulation, but it was fun :)
If you look really fast at the picture below, you'll miss the guy in it :) He's super horizontal!
This is a bad picture, but I just had to post it! Look how close his head is to the platform!! Amberley told me that the closer they are to the platform, the better scores they'll get because their form is better. Crazy!
Look at this guy!
Here's a silver medal up close! I'll have a fun post on this medal later :) Very cool :)
...and a family picture from the day :) haha!

Diving is the best. I'm so jealous that you got to go. I've really enjoyed reading your CWG posts.

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!

Cooking!

Cooking is sooo much harder here. THis is how you "puree" vegetables when you don't have a blender or food processor (or power). Some people have those things, but most people don't. This is my friend Gita. She's mashing up some onions. It's a marble slab that's not polished and they use a big rounded rock and just roll/mash! It's cool!!

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!
