Beating Pune heat!

Its summer here and temperatures are rising! Here is Annabel, having a piece of melon to beat the heat!

Baking again

When ever I am in the kitchen, Annabel also wants to come and help.. One day after seeing some children baking biscuits in TV, she too wanted to make them at home. So we got busy cooking.. She helped me cut the shapes and I placed them in the oven.

Also we baked a chocolate cake recently and she helped me decorate it with yellow sprinkles. She couldnot wait till i clicked a snap, so a piece is missing from the photo below

The weekend Escape- trip to Dandeli

On 5th March evening we decided to venture to Forest Reserve at Dandeli with group of people from work. Annabel was very excited about train journey. She kept saying " chook chook " for every train that passed by.. There were no other children on board our team, so she enjoyed every ones attention. It was an adventure trip with Water rafting, kayaking and Natural jacuzzi as items on the things to do there.. At the Stanley's Farm house resort , there was campfire arranged and tents for the night. The trip turned out much better than everyone expected and all had good things to say. Annabel too enjoyed and for the next 2 days after the return she kept saying she wanted to go back sitting on a train :)
