Bowling night

Usually we spend free time sitting at home and enjoying doing nothing. Sometimes the doing nothing gets too boring. This 4th of July weekend, we did anything but nothing. We did lots of things.

It started on the evening of the 3rd, when we went to Irfan's place for the usual get together. Left Neil at home with his Grandma, who insisted on letting us have some couple time. That was a great decision. Aysha was a bit disappointed because she always looks forward to meeting Neil, and so was Sagar and Raavi, because they haven't met him yet. But there were lots of other kids.

On the fourth, we went to Savanna Chanel, picnic, Santa Cruz beach and fireworks. (earlier post).

On 5th we went to BabiesRus, and bought Neil a walker. Lisa was not very excited about it, as she has read about the risks, but I really want to try it so that he gets motivated to walk. Well, the twice we have tried, we have not gotten great response from Neil himself. I will give it about a week to grow on Neil. Afternoon, Sameer and Vija-Ruchita visited us. Mom was staying with them, and when she came, she dearly missed the day's separation from Neil. She promptly held him. Sameer bought a nice toy for Neil - different shaped blocks that go in different slots. That's a great toy, because it is the right time for Neil to learn about it.

Then we went bowling. That was the funnest part of the weekend. Aai bowled for the first time and did pretty good. She improved in the second game, and wants to go more often. To end the day, we had Mohittos and Pizza. Ruchita had brought a nice dessert of nectarine with macadamia nut liquour and chocolate sauce.

So after such excitement, we spent the last day - Sunday doing absolutely nothing. End of a very eventful weekend.
