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!

Campa Cola & Exploring :)

Today we had some things to do in the Central part of our city, so while we were there, we decided to take on some adventures :) Adventure #1 - the underground market. This market is pretty crazy. It's actually underground and has electronics & clothes mostly. They sell things pretty cheap, so it's an interesting place to go. Today we got an 64 Gig flash drive/pen drive for about $5. Crazy hunh? Here's Adam and Aashini in one of the stores. They're all REALLY small stores - about 10x10 feet I would guess (but I'm really bad at guessing that sort of stuff :)) We go here a lot to get things, so I guess it's not a new adventure, but an adventure nonetheless. Before the next part of our adventure (the real part of our adventure) we stopped for lunch. Aashini will always eat at McDonalds, so that's where we went :) They just started selling chicken nuggets here at McDonalds, so it's super easy to get her to eat there :) This McDonald's had high chair

Starbucks!

 Starbucks opened in our city last night!!  I'm not a huge coffee drinker... but I was excited about the opening!!  (I think I like Starbucks because of all the green! haha!... Aashini and Diya think the mermaid on the logo looks like me... haha! Maybe it's the weird wavy hair :)... not sure :) ) Anyway, we got there and the line was SUPER long!  The wait time was about 45 minutes!!!  There were so many people there!!!  I tried to get a pic of all the people... (that's why this picture is at an annoying angle... I was trying to get it all in in between the columns :))    Here's Aashini doing a jumping picture!!  The girls tried to do a jumping picture :) haha!  haha!  They had a few spills along the way :)  I never got them both jumping :)  Stuff for sale....  OK, one more because I think they are cute :) haha!  People waiting in line :) Some friends that made it inside! :)  We decided not to wait in line... So we'll
