It's An India Week!

Apparently we're all having one here... though Riley's was a bit more literal than mine.

This past week the American School had their annual "India Week" where the kids spent the entire week delving into the Indian culture. They had musicians play at the school, did tons of arts & crafts, had in depth discussions during Indian Studies, brought in a traditional Indian lunch, and the elementary school held a performance on Friday that included songs, dances, and skits about India.

We then spent the weekend back down at Fisherman's Cove, the beach about an hour south of our house, where we basked in the sun, got burnt at the beach, and ate our weight in yummy treats. The girls were so tired from swimming, swimming, and more swimming, that they crashed out hard both Saturday night and tonight right after we got home. Obviously a sign that they had a great time.

This week will be spent preparing for and celebrating Riley's 6th birthday. Stay tuned for a peek at her cake... her special request that already has me scratching my head, wondering how I can pull it off.

Oh, but I will... I sure will. I think.

A family weekend at the beach sounds absolutely perfect right now.
