10 girls, 10 kids and a lost umbrella!

I am still in Satara after the "wow!" trip with the girls!

We went to a place about 15 kms from my home!

And it was a beautiful place with a crazily wonderful experience!

We were 10 girls with 10 kids! And just 2 little boys in the group!

Here's a glimpse of my hometown by the night...


 

Here's a tour for you guys...


This was a car that was parked in the hotel that we stayed in... Really loved the beast!

We had a blast in the evening... We played on the slides and swings in the children's play area... We ran around tagging each other (playing run and catch as they call it) The kids were a bit terrified if the moms had gone crazy! But once they realized that we were okay they joined the fun!

We played a lot of games... What is the time Mr Wolf?, Cotton ball giggles.. And lots more...

It was awesome... we were laughing late into the night...
I think we slept at somewhere around 2.30... With big plans to go for a morning walk!

Only 4 of us got up... But it was worth it!

This was the panoramic view that greeted us...


The servant quarter of the hotel was surrounded by greenery and I loved the early morning look of the place...


The view from the hotel was breathtaking... It was indeed a good morning...


We had decided to wear floral clothes since we would be going to see the valley of flowers.

Here's the whole group!


The kids spent a lot of time sketching on the pavement in front of the hotel... There was some striking artwork there...


Here are a few flowers :


Some peacock shaped flowers...


We learnt a lot new things too... Here's a flower when you touch it at a certain place, the stamen comes out of a trunk like structure! Wow!


We also came across a few cobwebs which had dew drops on them...


I played a lot with the camera - especially the 28X zoom feature!

These flowers were just 5 mm in diameter and about 3 meters from where I stood! Now you get the idea....

There were a lot of different species...


Some of them, we learn there, are near extinction!

The kids tried to fly!


And we tried too..


The view was fantastic!


Here's me with the kids...After all it was me whom they called Didi (elder sister)and all others were aunties! LOL...


And the big girls' naked feet!


After this we went to the Kaas Lake..


Kids loved the splash around...


My little guy just loved it!


He was just a tiny it disappointed that he could not find Nemo here...


The climax of the trip was when our Umbrella flew and fell into the water!

It had quite a journey...




And then it was time to pack up and head home!


Can you spot the umbrella in this picture?

We had a lot of happy faces and tired feet!!!

What a trip!
There will surely be many many many more... (as many as our husbands will allow!)

Next destination : Goa!!!

Now that will be a blast!

  2. What a great trip. Loved the peacock flower but the umbrella shots were my favorite. What a great story you could writ about that.
