out with parents By Umme Hani Sayed The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, Jeddah held a family gathering at a local amusement park near Jeddah Corniche. It was a break from the monotonous routine of work, school and home for parents and children as they enthusiastically participated in all activities organized by the institute. Attendants were able to take free rides at the park and for four hours the children gleefully boarded every ride with their friends from roller coaster to boating to helicopter rides, ice skating and many more. And, oh boy! did they enjoy? Lavish dinner was served after which everyone took part in various fun-filled competitions. Prizes such as remote control helicopters, big battery operated racing cars, PSPs, skating boards and bicycles were won by children. Adults took home LCD TVs, DVDs, Digital recorders, colorful carpets, toys and watches from Titans through a raffle draw. In between, cute little girls entertained the audience by sharing jokes and enjoyable riddles. audience. __
