An Elephant Excursion, in the middle of the city!

Did you know that it's very fun to feed an elephant? That is what we did on the way to Bible study the other night! There was a HUGE elephant that had paint and designs on him. There was also a little old man pushing a cart behind him. What was he selling? Bananas! We bought about 8 bananas for 50 cents, and fed them to the elephant. When he was happy, he rang a bell that was hanging around his neck. Basically, he took his trunk and swung it back and forth to ring the bell. It was really funny! :) The man riding/driving the elephant asked me if I wanted to ride. I was going to, but then realized it was getting late, and we had to get to Bible study. But next time, you bet I'm gonna ride!

Life, mostly normal! :)

Hey! I know you guys think I'm a total loser, and can't make time for my blog. Sorry! :) Life here is different, in a good way. We are normally really busy with lots of things at once! School has been going really well. Did you know that donkeys have 62 chromosomes, while horses have 64 chromosomes. Therefore a male mule (half donkey half horse) is infertile due to cross species mating. That was pretty random, BUT cool, huh? Anyway, now that you've had your biology lesson for today, in all school is going well. As I write this Zach, Maggie, and my Dad just came in the door from playing baseball in the society. Thanks Nanny for the baseball gloves! Mostly, other than soccer (called football here), the kids in the society only play cricket.

Yesterday my brother and sister went with my mom to see Kung Fu Panda 2 in 3D, at 8:30 IN THE MORNING! They are so funny, but the thing is, the show was PACKED! Let me explain, here they have shows at all times of the day from 6:30 am to 11:30 pm. One reason they have shows SO early is because of the 24 hour call centers here! Isn't that funny? The people who work at the call centers at night here go see a movie, then go home to bed! I didn't go because I was Skyping my grandma. :) Well, that's about it! And remember, always watch for motorcycles with 12 foot ladders on them before crossing the street! (That's another story!)

Summer Ends, Monsoon Starts, and National Doughnut Day Happens!

Hello! So, we've wrapped up our "Indian Summer 2011" and started school on June 1st! We have had a blast over the summer including, but not limited to: visiting Mumbai and Lavasa, a couple of pool outings, and going to the movies! So far we've had a WONDERFUL school year. Pics of summer fun........

So cool, huh! Anyway, as well as summer ending, Monsoon Season has begun! The rains are awesome, and we played in them tonight. Very fun! :) It's also pretty cool outside, which is a bonus. Another fun thing happening today was National Doughnut Day! This morning mom and I made homemade doughnuts! Yum!

Happy National Doughnut Day! By the way, Krispy Kreme is giving one free doughnut to everyone who comes to a Krispy Kreme store! YUM! Any kind and no purchase required! :)
