Deven's Third Birthday

Deven turned 3 today. We celebrated with a small gathering of friends. As you can see, Deven loves Spiderman right now (despite never watching the movie or reading a book about him). He also loves rockets and airplanes. Per Roan's suggestion, we took him to see the movie Planes in the theater yesterday. He loved it.

Sri Lanka Trip: Muthurajawela Boat Trip

While in Sri Lanka, we took a short boat trip in Muthurajawela through the old Dutch Canal and into the Negombo lagoon. We left Deven behind for this trip.

Sri Lanka Trip: Elephants in Pinnawala

While in Sri Lanka, we took a small side trip to Pinnawala to see the elephants. Mala was the most excited to see the elephants, even getting the opportunity to feed the elephants bananas.

Sri Lanka Trip: Beach time in Hikkaduwa & Galle

During our trip to Sri Lanka, we took a beach vacation in Hikkaduwa, which is in the south of the island. We rented a house right on the beach and had most of the beach to ourselves. The kids had a lot of fun playing in the sand and chasing waves. We also went to the old Dutch Fort in Galle a couple of times, which is a short 15 min drive from Hikkaduwa.

Sri Lanka Trip

We went to Sri Lanka in Nov of 2012 for 3+ weeks. Obviously it's been a long time since we came back but only getting to publishing the photos now. We have been busy!

This post contains photos from the general trip including transit time in Singapore, our stay at Jan's parents house in Negombo, family gatherings, etc. There are a several other separate posts to come in the next few days that capture some of the other trips that we took.
