Evan turned nine on Saturday. This was the third birthday of Evan's we have celebrated while living in India. We had a festive weekend planned, and the weather was perfect! We spent the day on Saturday exploring a nearby neighborhood called, Hauz Khas (see related post at Swimming-in-India).
Evan and Audrey enjoyed wandering in the 13th Century stone stairs and corridors of this Mogul college, reservoir and ancient Mosque. We ate lunch in a wonderful South Indian Bistro called, "Gun Powder."
This is located in the neighboring Hauz Khas Village and is up high on a third floor, overlooking the pond and park of the Mogul reservoir.
In the late afternoon we walked off our big lunch in Hauz Khas Deer Park. We watched the small herd of spotted deer that lives there, walked shaded paths and even stumbled across the "Delhi Drum Circle..."
... an all-ages group of local musicians that gathers every other Saturday there to make music together.
We ended the day back our home by turning the flat into a Nerf-gun warzone. It was Mom and Dad...
vs. Evan and Audrey.
The battle ended in Armistice (mainly because it was bedtime)...
On Sunday morning we had chai and sat in the sunshine at the Delhi Riding Club while Audrey enjoyed her riding lesson, and then prepared for Evan's party! He decided to just have a few of his best friends over, so invited three buddies from his AES third grade class. It was quite an international gathering.
Then the party moved inside for a few games, Dominos pizza, cake from our favorite Canadian Bakery (Red Moon) and a few presents... I think we all had a great weekend - especially Evan!

The boys came from families representing Germany, South Korea, England, Brazil and the US. The first half of the party was held outside in our neighborhood park. The boys played a soccer match with 5 local Tibetan kids (the AES kids lost to Tibet, 7-2) and had a great time in the sunshine!
