This week we went to see a Cricket Match :) Aashini hadn't been to a game since her first one ( http://southasiarocks.blogspot.com/2008/05/cricket-rocks.html )... she didn't like it so much back then - every time people would cheer, she would cry and scream! This time (a couple of years later) she had a TON of fun! We weren't sure how Diya would do, but she clapped and cheered along with everyone! She had a lot of fun too! ;) They both did a little coloring durin the game as well :) These pics aren't very great - I wasn't allowed to bring my camera into the stadium, so these are all taken on my phone :) Anyway, this picture makes the laugh... this was the half-time mosquito repelling time! haha! It was a fun game (even though we didn't win) :) Aashini kept cheering "Go Team Go! You Can Do it! Go for it!" :) haha! Awesome! Cricket has definitely grown on me - I'm a total fan now! :)

Saturday was the Cricket World Cup Finals! It was so fun! I've gotten into cricket the last few years, so it was really fun to watch the World Cup! South Asia hosted the Cup, so that made it extra fun! We live in the coolest new neighborhood! We LOVE it! Our area of the neighborhood does all kinds of cool things. For the game, they set up a projector and screen in the alley street next to our house! Here's some kids watching earlier in the day (the game started at 2:30 pm and lasts about 8+ hours, so not everyone was there at the beginning of the game :)) The girls had fun running around and playing. Here's Aashini in her cricket shirt, sporting her blues :) This is a horrible picture, but it's the only one I have of them from the day :) haha! We were all wearing blue for the game :) Adam has his cool cricket hat :) Here's the game on the big screen! This is the view from the back of the house (next to the girls' room). (this is before everyone was...

We were at the mall the other day and got to meet Sachin (a HUGE Cricket star here). Well, we didn't actually get to meet him... only his cardboard cut out :) We did actually get to see him play Cricket once... but this wasn't the time... although it looks really real! haha! I love Aashini's pose with Sachin :) haha! Diya had to have a chance too :) We had a lot of fun with the cut out thing ;) haha! Aashini was really confused at first... ... but she really got into it :) This picture cracks me up! ;)

I love going to fun sporting events... Our country has a cricket team and sometimes they play other cricket teams from other countries, and SOMETIMES there is a game in our city, but we've never been able to catch a game UNTIL.... The Donald Trump of our country decided that we needed to have professional cricket teams in all the major cities and have them play in their own league during the "off season"... Brilliant! Our city's team is called the Daredevils! I've been watching it in the paper and so, we decided that we had to catch a game! This first season has been about 3 months and a lot of the games our out of town, but this past Saturday night we were able to catch a game! Currently we're borrowing a friend's car who is in the states, so all 9 of us that were going to the game piled up in the car and went! I was sooo impressed with the stadium! I was a little scared before we went because I looked up the stadium capacity online and it said: "I...
