Dandiya in Dallas


Image

Oct 11th,  2008 - My dad's friend Tejas Uncle invited us to a Dandiya function at the Loos in Addision this evening. Today was the last day of the event and we thought that we should go and attend. The show started late in the evening so we left home at around 8:30 in the evening. My mother dressed me up in a traditional Indian outfit. As you can see from the picture, I looked really handsome. 

When we got there, the kids dancing was over and they were all eating pizza. We met Tejas uncle and he gave me some pizza, water and some candy. I ate my pizza and got energized. After that I ran around  stadium for the rest of the night making my parents run after me. I said "Hello" to all the security guards and after a while they got to know me and would say Hello as I approached. 

Finally it was time to go home. It was a great night. Thanks Tejas Uncle for inviting us.

Hi Vijay Mama

Oct 7th,  2008 - Today Vijay Mama visited us from Washington DC. He had come to Dallas on work for a couple of days and decided to stay with us tonight. He came home in his Chevy car in the evening. I felt comfortable with him and started my chitter chatter with him. My mother had made some good food, Vegetable Biryani and Bhindi Bhaji were the two main items. We ate dinner and my parents were chatting with him, when I was not interrupting. He brought me Doodle and a nice Shirt as gifts too. 

My parents were talking to him and I did not sleep. It was finally midnight by the time we all went to sleep. 

Thanks for coming by Vijay Mama. It was nice to meet you. We will come and see you sometime soon.

Manav's Birthday Party


Image

Oct 5th,  2008 - Today was my classmate Manav's birthday party. He turned 3 a couple of days ago. The party was at the Grapevine Springs Park in Coppell. The party started at around 10:30 in the morning and many of the guests were there by the time we arrived. I wished Manav a very happy birthday. My other friends, Riya, Sahili, Amey were there too. We started off on a small train ride and then did some bowling. I won a small globe as a prize. 

After some fun and games, we cut the birthday cake. It was a nice big cake in the shape of a circus tent. There was a circus theme to the party which was nice. After the cake ceremony, Stringhini the clown did some magic tricks and entertained us. It was fun, all of us sat and enjoyed his show.

 After the show, we ate some lunch which consisted of some nachos and hot-dogs. I also had my first snow cone. 

Thanks for a great party Manav. I had a great time.

Lets go Mail Check


Image

Oct 3rd,  2008 -One of the favorite things for me is togo and check the mail. When my dad gets home, I often tell him "Lets go Mail Check". My dad and I go for a long walk across the apartment complex to the mailbox. Along the way, I get to see all my favorite cars from the Honda,Toyots, Fords and Chevys. There are a few favorites of mine, the red GMC, the white Dodge and the Yellow Mustang. 

Once we pick the mail, I insist on carrying the mail back myself. Although, I struggle and drop the mail, my dad allows me to bring the mail back home. Along the way, I say Hi to all the people I meet. I usually get to meet a couple of doggies too.

Fun at Cimarron Trail Park


Image

Oct 1st,  2008 -The summer here in Dallas gets really hot and my parents have not been taking me to the park for the last few months. With Fall setting in, the evenings are gettinga little cooler and we are going to the parks again. Today we went to the Cimarron Trail Park in Valley Ranch. Its a nice big park and there are many things for me to play with there. 

I first played in the toddler section of the park and then went to the grown up section. In general, I am very careful when climbing on  things and did not want to climb up the hard way. My mother held my hand and encouraged me to climb. After two turns, I realized that its not that hard and started climbing on my own. 

I should be able to come to this park for the next few weeks and then it may start getting a little cold.

Trip to The Alamo in San Antonio


alt

Dec 26th,  2008 - One of the most famous US landmarks is the Alamo in San Antonio. It was the place where the Battle of the Alamo was fought  here. Since it was a long weekend, the Alamo was pretty crowded and it took us about 30 minutes to get in and see the insides of the Alamo. 

After that we spent some time in the garden around the Alamo before returning to our hotel room.
