A REAL Silver Medalist!

This post is a little late in posting!! When we were at the Commonwealth Games (diving), we got to see a real medal from the games! One of the divers that was there diving (from Australia I think) had won a sliver medal the day before. He didn't want to leave it in his room, so he gave it to his parents to hold while he was diving. They were really cool and letting people see it and take pictures of it. They even offered Aashini a chance to wear it :) She was scared to do it at first, but loved wearing it!!!
Here's a close-up of the medal:
She thought it was awesome :)
....Then, two weeks later she won her very own silver medal (in the transportation race - see here for the post about that)... She was so proud of herself!
Here's her medal :)
Very fun :)

Commonwealth Games Fun! - Athletics!

We bought tickets to some of the events for the Commonwealth Games to take the family to. We weren't sure how the girls would do at the games. We kinda figured on about an hour at each game :) We took the girls to their first event on Friday to see Athletics (basically Track & Field - see the other blog to see more about our trip :)) Anyway, the girls had a blast!
They passed out free flags when we walked in and Aashini LOVED her flag! She thought it was awesome!
She waved it and cheered for everyone :)
Diya REALLY loved her flag too! She was so happy when she was holding it... but she did whack the guy in front of her a few times - oops :)
Here's Diya drinking some water :)
Here's Aashini doing the "namaste" with Shera the mascot of the games :)
