John completed a triathalon (dyathalon) today - more details are on my personal blog. We're so proud of him, he did great!
The kids did so well considering that they were woken up at 6am, had to wait in the car (to stay out of the rain and the cold) for 2 hours, and were shivering and all goose bumpy for another couple hours as we watched the racers take off and saw daddy come in.
We also went to the Himalayan Festival. It was So neat. The Inia(ns) have such a beautiful culture. We ate Tofu and other side dishes that were....interesting. Their food is more spicy than we thought it would be. The Tofu was actually our favorite.
Here's a beautifully dressed young India(n) girl.
The temple grounds consists of open hills and ... a llama farm. We were able to feed and touch them. A few people were spat upon by these woolly creatures. But, fortunately we weren't one of them!I ran across a book I'll recommend to anyone thirsty for knowledge and unafraid of paradigm shifts. This book it titled, "A Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe". Who knew that there's such a thing as secular, symbolic and, most wonderfully, sacred mathematics.
Oh my goodness, I just saw that they have activity books to go along with this wonderful find - even more exciting!
"Studying number properties and intellectually knowing the road map, the symbolism, is not the same as actually taking the journey. We take that journey by finding within ourselves the universal principles these properties represent and by applying the knowledge to our own growth." Michael S Schneider

Where is the festival held? We love to attend all the different festivals around the state.
The festival was held at the Krishna Temple in Salem. You can view their events at the link I provided within the blog. It was really neat!
What a beautiful way to open up the children's thinking and imagination, very fascinating, maybe all of us should go on the outings with you :) it looks so fun
last contact i Had with Krishna people were American converts to the religion, and they were asking for money at the airport. It would be interesting to know what they believe.
We have been to that temple a few times and love it. The festivals are very interesting and we always get a positive feeling from them.
And holy cow! Congrats to your husband. What an accomplishment! (and congrats are in order for you too, for being with the kiddos and even getting them to smile for the pictures after getting up so early and all. :)
