Two holidays in a week! What more could anyone ask for?
I always have this compulsion to do 'something' on holidays. So on Monday, which was 'Id', I took Ruatfeli and her cousins to Millennium center. Some enterprising people have set up shop right on the front, with inflatable pools and beanbags and the likes. Feli went bonkers, giggling and laughing and falling all over herself; 'A nuam lutuk! A nuihzathlak e!!' etc.
And today, we went on an impromptu visit to Hmuifang tlang. We asked some other people to come along, but they all declined, so it was just us, with my niece and nephew and Mami.
The road to Hmuifang was pretty decent, but full of turns. Feli puked all over me in the car, white pieces of rice on my clothes and the car seat. We all got out and Rina did his number too, in yellow. We cleaned up as best as we could and finally reached the place, everyone tired and some in a sour mood.Things improved after lunch, and we explored the more accessible areas. Hruaii got a leech on her foot, I was more freaked out than her.

It was a great outing, wide open spaces, grass, trees, tipsy taxi-drivers on a day off (!). And on the way back, Feli bestowed a little more puking on me, this time Kurkure flavoured with a lot of tomato sauce.
It was fun, but no more road trips in the near future, the end does not quite justify the means.

Nice pics, very very happy happy, all of you :)
And oh, you guys had a holiday on this Monday's Eid? Over here, except for the banking sector, nobody else had a holiday that day :(
I've gone past the kiddies' toy fest outside the MC a few times and always wished I had my cam with me. Glad to see you took a few. Feli's started sounding like a real little character lol. Just love her shiny straight hair.
Kim, we do try to be happy happy, but life does have its share of tears :P Mizoram is the best place on earth, for a government employee that is, we probably have more holidays than anyone else :)
Calliopia, the colourful toys do make one wish to buy carloads of them. But kids get bored so quickly and toys simply become a nuisance after sometime. And it's a blessing Feli's hair is turning out like it is, it was a big source of worry for me when she was a baby :)
