Trampoline fun on Thanksgiving afternoon

Thanksgiving turned out to be pretty amazing because we were invited over to the Cleggs house along with most of the other Americano Mormons in Delhi. They live in the embassy compound and have a trampoline in their back yard. Isaac, Levi, & Ty were in heaven and jumped to their hearts content. The food was amazing too. Isaac actually ate quite a bit of turkey, Levi ate mostly raw veggies, Ty ate watermelon and they all went nuts over the desserts.

Larry Boy: The Playdough Extravaganza

Levi discovered that beyond drawing endless pictures of Larryboy, making Larryboy out of playdough is also a worthy artistic endeavor.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Isaac's Corner
Here I am at my school showing my mom the Indian water dance. This week we celebrated Thansgiving on Thursday. We got invited over to a house with a trampoline and it was as much fun as a bouncy castle. At the table we played the alphaet thankful game and I said I was grateful for Bengal tigers and grapes. My favorite Thanksgiving foods are turkey, watermelon, cookies, and brownies.

Checking out the Multiple Intelligence Room at Sun City

3 little boys at school

Isaac really wanted to take me on a tour of his school on Saturday morning so we had Ashu drive us over to Sun City. At first Reema said that we had to stay with her for the tour, but then when she saw that Isaac wanted to show me ALL of the rooms that he knew in the school, she relented and let us go on a self guided tour. I was so glad that she let us be by ourselves because the boys had so much fun exploring. We did get a ton of surprised looks from all of the employees that we passed, we made a pretty usual onterage with 3 scampering blonde boys and a white lady with a basketall in her tummy. Isaac loved showing us the multiple intelligence room the best. It had a mini-museum in it with a space ship and dinosaurs. He also did a dancing demonstration for us in the Western and Indian dance room.

Cool stuff at Kingdom of Dreams

Bollywood NIght Out

James and I went to a big Bollywood bash on Friday for the expat group here called Gurgaon Connection. Everyone dressed up in Indian attire and went over to Kingdom of Dreams for a dance party. I borrowed a lavender sari from Roma and James borrowed a cool men’s outfit from Suhas--it was really fun to dress up like the locals. Levi said I looked like a princess and Isaac said I looked hilarious and glorious. Ty bear just gave me good snuggles.

Gravel and doors

This was as close as I could get the picture, but I'm always amazed at the sights I see out on the roads in India. Riding on a bed of gravel can't be too comfy. I've got to rememer to always have my camera with me though--there were a few things I saw last week that were amazing and I missed getting pics--a man riding an elephant, a guy with a huge red turban herding a hundred goats across a major intersection, and a guy at a wedding walking on a broomstick breathing fire balls. . .ahh India.

Right after James leaves in the morning, Ty is determined to follow him. He just needs to figure out how to get the door open. . .
