Playground!

The park right beside the hotel has a playground. It is the first playground we have seen in Bangalore. The boys were excited to play and we have been there two days in a row. Of course there is always something different than what we would expect in Canada. In this case, it is the hours that the playground is open: 6am-10am and 4:30pm-8pm. Not sure if this has to do with the long, leisurely lunches in India or because it is so warm in the middle of day. Kids go to school from 8 to 1:30, then generally nap in the afternoon. Families have dinner anywhere from 9 to 11pm and then the kids go to bed. We have not managed to eat later than 6:30 or 7pm and are almost always in an empty restaurant!

  1. Hi Nancy,
    LOVE these pictures! A playground, how about that! Looks like you are staying in a nice area. Good to see the boys having fun. Hope you're all enjoying your daily outings and that Kevin is getting into the swing of things at work.
    We all really miss you here. Take care. Hugs and kisses to all. Mum

    1. Kinley,
      Rowan and Blair like the teeter-totter best, and William likes his "castle" (see picture). Blair says he likes the playground at school better. Enjoy playing on it tomorrow!

  3. Hi Nancy
    Nice playground, too bad they are closed for such a long period during the day. the boys look like they are doing well, how are you doing now that Kevin is working? Everything is fine here, Michael has been staying at your place, about three nights a week. So nice to have updates from you, Kevin and Rowan. Hope that Kevin's work is going well?
    Thanks for the pictures, love you all
