Camping June 2011

Ishaan had his 3rd camping this year, and it was first time when he actually understood what camping means, although all he cares about is if his friends are around him. One of his favorite activity during any outdoor activity is throwing stones in water with his friends and he got a lot of opportunities to do that. We also got a chance to spend a little time at river bank and Ishaan enjoyed that, he was so excited to go in water all by himself.

Few things that Ishaan really enjoyed during the camping were
1. Playing with Rishab, Anshi, Nihal (as usual)
2. Watching the campfire
3. Sitting and swinging on the Hammock
At camping we all were little concerned about Dear ticks, and Neha found a tick on Ishaan's neck but because it was not there for 24 hrs, it wouldn't have caused any harm. Later when we were back home after 2 days we found yet another tick on Ishaan and that was very scary. We took him and the tick to the doctor and got a confirmation that it was a dear tick. Still not every dear tick is harmful so doctor asked us to observe him for 7-15 days and if he gets fever only then he will be given a dose of antibiotics. So far we haven't seen any symptoms of an infection so we are guessing he is fine. Ishaan keeps says, Daddy I want to go back for camping with my friends Rishab, Anshi, Nihal and Baby Mahika.
