America - Orlando!

I'm slow in posting, but here are some pics from our visit in Orlando to visit Adam's dad and brother (Notice that everyone in the pic below has blue eyes!! :))
Aashini found some rings one day and put them on all of her fingers :)
The girls had fun rocking out with all the awesome musical equipment that Adam's dad and bro have! Diya was serious about drumming! She loved it!!!
Aashini loved the drums & keyboard, but her favorite by far was the microphone!! She would sing and talk into it as long as we would let her - haha!
... a little fun in the crazy daisy sprinkler :)
We got Sean to push the stroller in the mall :)
We sang some karaoke one night - Adam really got into it :) haha!!
One night we went to Chuck E Cheese's. For the first time in her life Aashini was NOT afraid of the character in the costume - she ran up to Chuck and gave him a big hug and a high-five!
Aashini's favorite game was the Stinky Feet game... at the end of the game it let off a stinky smell - haha! She wanted to play it over and over!
You can see the progression below... Diya was excited to see Chuck... She ran up to him with her arms out... when she got to him she had 2nd thoughts and came running back pretty scared. She went back up to see him when Adam was holding her though :)
Look at this HUGE pizza!!!
One night we went to this fun dancing musical fountain. Aashini had sooo much fun!
Aashini made a little friend (in the pic below) - she had a lot of fun with him. When the fountain started up she thought it was awesome!
One day we went over to Lego Land in Downtown Disney.... the dragon and stuff in the pic below is ALL made of Legos!
Blurry family photo someone took for us :)
I was wearing my Mr. Potato Head shirt... so I had to get a picture with him :)
Aashini & Diya wanted to get their pic with Cinderella :)
Over the weekend we went camping. Adam's dad just recently got a pop-up camper - it was great!
Aashini got a new Rapunzel Doll from her friend Eden and I braided her doll's hair... so then Aashini needed her hair braided too :)
Diya loved the swings at the campground :)
The girls had fun playing in the dirt, playing at the spring, playing at the playground and all over the camp site :)
The girls had fun camping!!
Diya was super dirty most of the weekend ;) haha! This picture cracks me up :)
We had a great time in Orlando :)

so many fun pics! I love A's braids and her curls--she looks so different with her hair down. I just see that so many others said that too. I do hope you had a fun, fun time in the US!

I've never seen a picture of Adam's dad before. Weird thing to comment on your blog huh? :) I love all the pics! Aashini looks so tall and skinny playing in the sprinkler!

The pic of Diya all dirty made me laugh too. That's exactly what my kids look like every time we go camping!

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!

Dusshera 2012

This year, our neighborhood was quite active for Dusshera.  At one end of our street, one of the major political parties here, set up a Dusshera celebration.   Here are some guys putting the effigies together and filling it full of fireworks! They had quite the political statement for their celebration.  (Basically that expensive water, fuel, electricity, diesel, gas, etc and FDI (bringing in foreign companies like Wal-Mart) are like Raverna (the demon god)... and are the evils of today....)  Here's their set-up at the end of our street.... you can't see it very well, but they had all three effigies there that they burned....  They burned VERY quickly at this one... So quickly that by the time I pulled out my camera, it was already on the ground!!  Our street looked like those CNN videos of rioting cities :) haha!!  There was burning stuff all over the street :)  Many people will get a piece of the leftover wood/bamboo...

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 insid...
