Our First Family Vacation

Our first family vacation has come to an end. It was a fun week with Uncle Sanjay and Sumit coming in from Dallas, Texas and Ottawa respectively, and Auntie Anjali coming in from California. Add in ten nieces and nephews (all under the age of 13) and and we had quite the Gera gathering! Ariya, Jaiden, and Kailen were a hit with their cousins - everyone was constantly wanting to hold them and play with them. It was really great seeing everyone together and we really hope we can continue to do this yearly.

We spent the last couple of weeks between Toronto and Blue Mountain, Ontario. Blue Mountain was a lot of fun as we were able to rent a chalet that accommodated all 16 of us. We spent a lot of time on the deck, in the hot tub, bbq'ing, playing pool, hiking, taking in the village, and beaching it up at Wasaga Beach.

Geeta and I didn't know what to expect with taking the kids out of town and being surrounded by so many family members....we somehow managed ok, but it was somewhat of a challenge at times as the kids had to adapt to a new environment and get used to having so many kids and family members around them. The kids are all teething currently and are not always in the best of moods these days - so it was not always easy to keep them comfortable. Mommy and Daddy were lucky to have everyone being so understanding and continuously feeding us and cleaning up after us...we had a good time! We also celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary with the entire family in Little India in Toronto.
