Highlights/ Memories:

Thanks to the Tandon family for organizing this, Garima’s “detailed” lists and also to Everyone for following Garima’s instructions quite flawlessly …

Aman getting Garima fired up to fight up with the park people by messing with Garima; Good April fool's joke (a few days late, but still in April!!)

Pakeezah from 'Park" ??? seriously who guessed that?

Water fun the first day and Sakshi's Annie hair the next morning :)

Girls NOT doing the 'bartans' even after losing the Dumbcharades game...

Poor Siddh carrying Vihaan most of the trail

Ishaan singing Oye lucky Oye even in his sleep :)

Poor Armadillo getting roasted while Prachi nearly jumped out of her skin, as did everyone else around, incld. Avyay and Sakshi in the “mahal” tent …

Oye Lucky Lucky Oye ….

Koi "Tumsa" Nahin ... Or was it.. Koi "Tujhsa" Nahin ... We will never know which one Garima said...

Prerna’s convincing the Chai freaks that the quick and easy method works too … New process improvement …

Sejal’s perfect singing for Pass the Parcel game…

Rajiv and Navneet’s Govinda dance as part of the spouse game …

Sushil’s taco station in the morning …

Most people got no sleep, either due to snoring spouses/neighbors or the rain all night long …

SlumDog and millionaire tents…

Harshita’s chocolate dripping smores … yummm…

Girls drinking SmirnOff while all guys taking care of the “choolha” …

Avyay having fun in water and even saying "Maaro, Maaro" and splashing everyone!

Paakiza, Hatimtaai, Aloo Chat, Gajini

Shaili and Shubhan arriving at the campsite in style just as their song “Singh in Kingg” was playing in the background …

Prachi's wonderful spouse "pass the parcel" game revealing the "true" feelings between many couples :)

Mayoors’ innovative technique to help Vihaan pee on the trail.

Shubhan enjoying hammock with his Mom and falling to sleep

Sakshi proposing Vibhav with a knife in her hand

Sejal playing Mom - She might be the Mom of the little boys in this group sometime in their previous births

Thank goodness that Shaili/Girish arrived with Shubhan because Sejal has almost emptied Prerna's brain by asking where is Shubhan? Why are they not here yet?

Prerna got all worked up when I noticed some deep scratches and bruises on Sejal’s hands and started scolding her for not being careful. She left Prerna speechless by telling her that she was trying to save Vihaan from sharp bushes that were coming on Vihaan’s face when he was walking around with her. Oops..Prerna had to tell her that she is sorry!

Sejal and Ishaan’s TLC (tender loving care) moments on a chair in the corner - And Romir did see that ... He gave Ishaan such a quick smack on the head that even the three adults standing around (Shaili, Vibhav and Sakshi) could not stop him ... gawd .. that li'l dude is quick!!

Avyay & Sejal teaming up to turn Rajiv uncle into a mummy by pouring tons of pebbles on him while he was lying flat in water

Avyay/Romir/Sejal & Vihaan taking turns on hammock and giving each other push in the hammock. In fact they were some of their most cooperating moments
