Activities kids surprised me with:
Anvi ate 'bombil's.. i.e a fish called 'bombay duck'. This is actually an acquired taste. My 3 yr old liked them and ate a couple. Was then saying 'gimme bombil '
Urvi's grandma told her to to get the clothes out of the washer so that they can be dried. In marathi, word for clothes drying is 'su-khaYla' and 'su' means 'to pee'. This messed her up.. she was wondering why the clothes should be taken out and one should pee on them.
More stories - but I forgot about..

2009: Cathay Pacific (to be completed)
2008: Eva Airlines (unfortunately - they shut down their service to Mumbai)
2007: Korean Airlines (This is the fastest way to get from San Francisco to Mumbai)
2006 -- none - Anvi was born
2005 - KLM / Northwest (The airline I have flew the most with)
2004 -- none - Urvi was born
2002 - Lufthansa?
2000 - KLM?
1998 - when I got married - came on Singapore airlines.
1998 - KLM ?
1996 - KLM
1995 - Delta

4th july
Long weekend is over. We had a blast. The Fremont 4th July parade was almost in our backyard - It was on Warm Springs Blvd.. so walking distance. We carried our chairs and snacks and walked over. The parade was almost 2 hrs and well organized. Baloons, cars, bikes, fire engines, etc all made their presence.
Had family friends over - and then we did a bbq. bbq had good variety and we had good fun. Relaxed for some time - and the little ones had a nap. Then - it was time to relax in the pool. Couple of hours in the pool was great - the water was warm and the kids had a blast.
Then a cup of tea - and then we picked up sandwiches from Subway and headed for fireworks at Milpitas sports center. Found street parking and then carried sleeping bags to the grounds. Got a good place at 8.30 pm .. and enjoyed the show. Kids were tired and fell asleep by the time we rolled back home at 10.30pm.
Was a nice relaxing 4th..
