Its that time of the year again! Summer! The months go rather slowly for most working parents who would rather jump into the pool with the kids than shunt them to one or the other summer camps available all around town.
This year we had a break from the "keep them busy in summer camps coz we gotta be at work" routine we usually end up in. Dadi has come down and is here for three weeks in April. The kids are at home, chilling out. In fact S was emphatic that he didn't want to go to one more series of dumb summer camps that pretend to introduce kids to a smart new skill, and do nothing more that provide rudimentary exposure to the same.
We did end up putting him into a 3-week cricket camp to enhance his skills. I think secretly that he enjoys the snack and juice at the end of the camp more than the actual practice sessions. He was of course all enthusiastic at the beginning of the camp and has greatly enhanced his skills. When asked if he wants to continue for another 3 weeks, pat comes the reply - its too tiring! hmm...
Anyway, we are off to Mahabaleshwar and surrounding areas next week and am trying to put together a list of must-dos and must sees. Let's see....
Visit cool nurseries in Mahabaleshwar to get berry plants.
Visit strawberry fields of farmers. Possibly talk to them.
Ok, I think I am set. :-) Oh well! Maybe I should list out sightseeing plans for the remaining sane members of the family.
