Shelly and Mo's Wedding

I went to Cleveland for my mom's cousin's wedding. The bride and groom were Shelly and Mohit. There were 4 events. The Mendhi, the Sangeet, the ceremony, and the reception.

Mendhi is brown paint that when you take off what you painted appears on your hand. There were two Mendhis. One was for the bride, me, and Sam. The other was for everybody else. There was also a puja where everybody was singing and praying.

At the Sangeet, lots of people did dances for the bride and groom. Here's a video of our dance:

After all the performances, we had dinner and then everybody got on the dance floor and danced. Mom's cousin Mayank put me on his shoulders to get me on to the dance floor. It was fun and I got really sweaty.

The next day was the Wedding. First there was the baraat, which is the groom riding on a horse and everybody dancing around him. Next was the ceremony and then a lunch. 

Last was the reception, but Sam and I didn't go. Mom and Dad took pictures though, so you can see what happened!

Family Trip to Breckenridge

I went to Breckenridge, Colorado. We went with my mom's family. We went horseback riding, fishing, and to the Breckenridge fun park.

When we went horseback riding my horse's name was Star. We went up a four-mile trail through the mountains on ski trails. I got to steer Star by myself. Sam road his own horse, but he had to be led by the guide.

When we went fishing on a pontoon boat in a man-made lake that was built to give water to Denver (Lake Dillon). We did not catch anything, but I got to try lure fishing and bobber fishing.

At the Breckenridge Fun Park, I got to go in a maze and on an alpine slide. I thought the slide was really fun, especially when we went fast around the turns.

I hope I can come back! Thanks Naniji and Nanaji for a great trip!

Max's 8th Birthday!

For my birthday I went to Six Flags, watched a movie, and went to the LEGO store. At Six Flags my favorite ride was Congo Rapids because I got very wet. the movie was Despicable Me 2. My favorite part was when they shot jelly at the Minions. At the LEGO store I got a big crane. For my birthday, I got lots of presents including LEGOs, games, puzzles, a bike, and tickets to the Broncos-Giants game.

It was a very good day and I hope my next birthday is the same.
