Trip to Detroit

July 30th - August 2nd, 2009 [permalink]

I went with my parents to Detroit for a wedding. It's the farthest East and the farthest South I've ever been! First we went to the airport.

I did ok on the flight, though I cried a little bit in the middle when it was hard to take a nap. We stayed in Dearborn, Michigan which is in the middle of a bunch of Ford buildings. If I ever grow up to work at Ford I can put this picture on my desk.

There was also this weird box labeled "DANGER". I never did figure out what was so dangerous about it.

The hotel room was a fun place to practice sitting up.

And it had some fun replicas of houses of famous people.

My Dad and I spent some time exploring while my Mom was at the Mehndi party.

There were two celebrations. One was an Indian Baraat where groom arrived on horseback! (Though the horse was a little skittish). My parents were busy dancing along with the Baraat so we didn't get any pictures.

Here's Griff the groom and Dan a friend of ours.

And here are the bride and groom, Griff and Arti.

I had fun at the party hearing lots of music. Plus I was on west coast time so I got to stay up really late!

Then the next day was the wedding itself. Don't we look nice?

I got a little fussy during the wedding and my Mom had to take me for a walk.

Ahh, how nice!

Hot summer day

I played outside on the deck since it's been very warm -- I like the cool breeze out here.

Drumming

My parents may get sick of this someday, but for now they love it. I often get a look of intense concentration on my face when I'm drumming. It's hard work mustering up this much coordination!

I also like to hold the pots and pans, though they're pretty heavy.

And this thing is fun to chew on!

My first camping trip

July 18-19, 2009 [permalink]

I got to go camping with my parents to Mt. Rainier. It was really fun! I got to see my Aaji and Ajoba, and sleep in a tent, and wake up super-early when the sun came up.
