Roadtrip to Washington DC and Toronto

I went to Washington DC and Toronto with my dadu, moni, baba, mummy and Srishta this summer. On the first day we drove to Dayton, OH and stayed with dadu's friends. Next day we reached Germantown, MD where Avinash Uncle stays with his family in his big and beautiful house.
Over the next few days we visited the Lincoln memorial, the Jefferson Memorial, the White House, the Washington Monument , the Smithsonian Air and Space museum and the Natural History museum.

Thats Srishta and Avinash Uncle.

I also had great fun playing with Reena Aunty.

On Saturday morning we drove to Toronto from Washington DC. On the way we stopped at the Niagara Falls. The Falls were lighted up in different colors and there were lovely fireworks. Late that night we reached Sarvpreet Uncle's house. He is my twin. We have the same birthday. Sarvpreet Uncle and Taruna Aunty have 2 children named Arjun and Preet. Taruna Aunty gave us Freezy Pops to eat. Another day we went to the beach on Lake Ontario. There was a park on the beach.
We got to have Ice Cream because we saw an Ice Cream Truck. Arjun had a Rocket popsicle, Srishta had a Spiderman Popsicle, Preet had a vanilla ice cream and I had a vanilla cone.










We went to see the Niagara Falls in the daytime with Uncle, Aunty and Arjun. We went on the boat, the Maid of the Mist. We had to wear blue raincoats on the boat as the boat goes very near the falls. Thats Srishta smiling at the camera. Arjun was very scared on the boat.

At the Rainforest Cafe.













On our way back home we stayed at Michigan for a night. It was a long long trip.

A Suprise Birthday Party

On my 7th birthday, my friends gave me a surprise birthday party. I was playing on the laptop when suddenly there was a knock on the door and when my mom opened the door...guess what...all my friends were standing outside! We all went downstairs to the garden behind our building and played Tag and had a race. My brother waved us off with a flag. Then we had pizza and juice on the picnic table. After that we played 'passing the box' and had great fun.




We went back upstairs to cut the cake.



When we had finished eating the cake, we played musical chairs, Freeze dance and Duck Duck Goose. My friends gave me lovely presents. My favourite one is the Barbie Doll pool set.
