Errr..now that you are totally jealous of me 🙂 let me tell you a bit about the trip as well

We reached on Saturday at about 12ish in the afternoon and RD and R hit the pool…R being afraid of water was not too keen, but she saw a couple of kids enjoying and borrowed their float and was pretty much kicking ass in the water…

Poor me, was sitting on the bank of the errr..pool, wetting my feet, thanks to Aunt Flo still visiting!

anyways, so we spent time there, had lunch..and then walked back to the play area where there was foozeball (Is that the right spelling, that game in Friends which Joey and CHandler had the table??) I played it for the first time with RD and we had fun fighting on who was cheating…well he cheated, I won..gah!

then of course we went to snoozeland…I am re-re-re- reading the Harry Potter series and at book 4 now..so had taken that along…

The place we stayed was a hut (they need more lights there!) but it was really really nice and green..and oh there was a waterfall as well….and oh oh! they alsoo have geese moving around freely, creating a ruckus, and they have hens, goats, chicks, turkeys..all freeing going here and there 🙂

In the evening we took a walk to see the nearby lake..for the first time in my life perhaps I heard the sound of silence and realised what tranquility is all about…I swear…it was so so tranquil in the lake with a sole man fishing, that it seemed as if the description of a scene from a book…

We had a wonderful time walking along the untrodden ways 🙂

Came back, and ate the dinner and watched TV for a while before sleeping…

Next day morning, RD was wide awake, prodding R and me to get up to go to the pool…I decided to go in this time,..and boy oh boy, I am in love with water..for someone who doesnt know how to swim, I swear, I had the most wonderful time..the downside was that the brat was too scared and kept screaming murder, everytime RD or I tried to take her in gah!

but we keep our hopes high and hope she will overcome her fear for water 🙂

anyways, then we went to the water fall and we had fun standing under it…this was definitely teh BEST part of the holiday, food not withstanding 🙂

we packed off and left by 10ish…reached home by 12.30 or so…

all in all, it was a short, awesome break..and as I return to work today, I am looking forward to the leave I have to take on Thursday for Rakshabandhan as R’s daycare is closed..teeheheheheheh 🙂

and oh, the official cameraman of the family was kind enough to share some pictures 🙂

go on enjoy 🙂

Learning to conquer the fear of water??? Though I am not too worried…my superman Appa is there to hold me 🙂

The wild goose chase…*Apologise for the ulta picture, everytime I am trying to make it seedha, my wP is hanging :(*

 

Mother and daughter looking into eternity!

Did you see that sea of green, the brat asks me

 

Tranquil lake….

 

Errr..that plastic has the umbrella…check out the short hair cut for both the brat and the mom 🙂

 

Green green everywhere
