School has started and we are back to the routine.
We all did a trip to a village this summer vacation - the kids enjoyed this trip a lot. They got to see all kinds of domestic and farm animals and also got to see a Mango Orchard. I was surprised to see my bread cheese eating kids seamlessly move to Jowar roti and egg plant curry. Angel's first exclamation was - "They have a calf as a pet here". Apple has given new names to the animals and looks like the names have stuck. They got lots of opportunities to climb trees and jump. They wanted to see peacocks and their uncle indulged them one evening, going all around the village till they got to see a flock of them. So per Apple's count they saw 20 peacocks and 65 pigs :).
This Summer also took us to the cool and foggy hills of Mahabaleshwar. Ate lots of strawberry, strawberry cream and mulberry (was not in season, but still some was available). Also ate some fruit called Kali maina dongrachi maina - It is a wild fruit, which grows on the hills. It was the first time I was eating it and it was very tasty. Ate another new fruit which looked like a cashew fruit but was tasting similar to pear - crunchy and juicy. Forgot to take a picture. But some Google research tells me that the fruit is called as water apple. There are 2 varieties of it Rose apple and the green one.
To keep the kidstired out busy for the rest of their vacation time there was skating and swimming. They can now swim and were working on their back stroke, when we called it quits and went on vacation to Mahabaleshwar.
How was your summer?
