In between meeting family and friends during our trip to India we celebrated new year's eve and Avi's 11th birthday in Pune with lighting firecrackers, Chicken Biryani and Chocolate Cake! He is as tall as me and a book worm. Both brothers enjoyed the free time and company of their cousin Shaurya.Some of the highlights -
A trip to children's park followed by ice cream treat and visiting a pet shop.
Visiting Lavasa City- I tried Jet Ski. The drive was really winding but the city appeared to be planned.
Trip to Bhigwan bird Sanctuary -It turned out to be a great day! Our family seemed to be the only visitors and we went in a row-boat. The entire lake was ours and we were the only spectators of the birds. After getting down on the shore, on our way back to the car, Neev was running like a free bird himself without a care when I heard a cry from him. He landed in a deep puddle covered with algae so dense it did not look like a pond ,making it partly the reason that Neev did not notice it. It was scary but I pulled him out and he was covered with this slimy green stuff from head to toe. He was embarrassed but it was so funny that after the momentary scare, we could not stop laughing at the way he looked - color green and brown covered his whole face, hair and body. We dealt with it as best as we could and got another great story in our pocket about Neev :)Another first was to eat Lobsters of our own choosing. Ashwin took us to Nisarg which is a famed seafood restaurant in Pune. We were presented with live lobsters on our table to pick the size we wanted to order. I was grossed out but the rest of the family enjoyed the meal. India is heaven for sweets and we could not have enough of Dadu's sweets emporium. Lip smacking desserts presented beautifully!!
Trip to Badaun is another post.
All in all - great family times to be thankful for!!
