picnic joys

Indian Kalana 

I LOVE picnics. Always have and am planning on continuing to do so. When I first heard the rumors about a field trip at school I stated wishing I could go. Trying to decide the best way to ask to be allowed. The day of the picnic arrived and I (oh so casually) told Frieda that if they needed anymore chaperones I would be willing to go. Of course the excited jumping after she told me I could go gave me away :)

It was for both class twos. One I do Life Skills (Christian take on life) with on Friday mornings. It was really fun to get to be with them more and get to play with them!

I loved it!

We went to this beautiful old Maharajah's palace. I loved it from the first glimpse. Sadly a large gate and lock separated us. So what did we do? We took the 60+ kids and jumped the wall, trekked around the back side and got in.

Then reminding me I was in India we sent the bus driver to look for the guard to unlock the door so we could leave easily. My feelings were more of hide from the guard if he came! We had broken in! But this is India.

 It was breaking down and over grown and absolutely magical. I could have spent hours roaming around the rooms, playing in the twists and turns, and loving the beauty.

I see you!

The kids were awesome! Fun and talkative (Class Two B's English is amazing! They understand everything and can respond!!!). And so generous with their tiffins (snacks) especially with the spicy chips [not my favorite!].

What can be better than a day off school spent in a lovely bus ride, "exploring" to get to a palace, eating a yummy lunch, and exploring in the ruins of a palace?

It was one of those days that you just enjoy!
