Road Trip #5... Getting Older...

I'm 30!! yeah... that's right - THIRTY!! Whoa! I'm not quite sure what to say about that...
My birthday was a couple of days ago, bu we were out of town, so we celebrated it when we got back home last night. My mom made her YUMMY strawberry cake - it's sooooo good!
This past week we were in Valdosta, GA at a conferece. One of the days, the family we were staying with took us to this cool park. At the park, you could walk through the wetlands on a boardwalk - it was so neat!
The boardwalk was super low to the ground, so we were really close to the Aligators! One tim, Adam made a sound and there were two gators there that flipped out and kind-of jumped out of the water! It scared us all a lile bit!
At the end of the walk way, there was a big tower you could climb up and see for miles! It was really cool!
Here we are on the tower :)
We've already had 5 road trips and 3 airplane trips... and the next road trip is this weekend... Man, I'm tired!!

Yeah it's hard for me to believe you're 30. I'm thinking time stopped back in Virginia 3 years ago! :) That boardwalk thing looks fun, but I'm not sure I would've been brave enough to walk that close to gators! -Emily

"Cool alligator! How'd they get SO close!?"-from Wesley and "You know!! Alligators kill people, bite people, and .....(you get the idea),...oh, can alligators climb?"-from Isaiah

Looks like fun. :) The strawberry cake looks great, while we made muffins this morning we were talking about how good strawberry cakes are!

Weekend Getaway!!

 During the Diwali holidays, the kiddos had off almost a week of school.  So, us and some of our friends went on a getaway!  We went just a little outside of the city to another state and stayed at a fun resort.   Look at the view from our room!  Fun hunh?  Aashini and Diya got to play a lot with their buddies Sanjana and Sandeep :)  The kiddos had a great time on the outside play area :)  The boys spent most of their time playing sports! haha!  They played Badminton (pictured below), Tennis, Water Polo and Cricket at any chance they got! :)  They played ALL day long! haha!  The hotel also had an indoor play area.  They kids had a lot of fun at that one too :)  It had a crazy slide that was super steep and fast!  They usually ended up sliding across the floor  a few feet after they slid off :) haha!  We all tried the slide too :) haha!  There were fountains and water ever...

MasterChef Australia!!!

MasterChef Australia is a great show!  When it's on, we get it 5 days a week.  There are TONS of episodes.  The thing that makes it really cool is that the judges and contestants are all so nice!  The contestants don't stab each other in the back and they even help each other!   Anyway, the other night (a couple of weeks ago) some friends of ours were in town and wanted to go to Chili's, so we went over to the mall to eat :)  When we got there we saw that the bookstore had the Judges (and very famous chefs/restaurant owners) inside signing cookbooks!    When we got inside, they had just closed off the line, so we weren't allowed to go through the line and get them to sign a cookbook or get a pic with them :(    So... we stood as close as we could and took pics :) haha!  (and I didn't have my camera, only my phone to take pics)... Here's Gary...    Here's George with my friend Amy :)  And my at...

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!
