29 Aug 2009 Frisco Festival – Downtown Rogers, AR
 |  Category: Season, Things I do, Trip  | Leave a Comment

“It’s Friday, what can we do?” we thought we could try out the festival at downtown Rogers. When we got there, there was a throng of people coming in for the festival, we hardly find a parking space. We had to walk a distance to the destination but I would say it was a nice walk with the cool weather! Nathan was fascinated with the fire trucks and EMS vehicle parked along the street. Next, he saw people were lining up for the rides. Of course, he won’t miss that. We were worry about sending him off to ride on the train by himself. I was warning him to hold the handle and to sit tight. He did follow my instruction and enjoyed the ride very much. Well, we cannot pass on the funnel cake, corn dogs, and BBQ. So, we stopped to have our dinner there. Nathan had a giant corn dog all by himself. I would say that it was the unhealthy dinner for the evening… well, we could be unhealthy once in a while. It was 8pm, we decided that we need to go. The little young man didn’t have enough rides(we did pass out a lot of rides because it was too late and also daddy and mommy were too busy eating!) and didn’t want to leave! We promise him to take him to the Fayetteville one next week and he seems feeling better after that. Overall, it was a fun day for our family.

01 Aug 2009 Finished Sandbox
 |  Category: Nathan, Project, Toddler  | Leave a Comment

The previous post mentioned about the sandbox but without the sand. So, finally we ordered 2700lbs of sands from Lowe’s. Hubby did a great job by asking for a discount. Somehow he is better at that than me, I’m the nervous person when comes to bargaining. Anyhow, the sand was shipped to our house yard, a few feet away from the sandbox, because the forklift was too big to enter the backyard. So, how do you move the 2700lbs of sand from one place to the other? Wheelbarrow would be a good answer. But the problem is that we didn’t have one. So, Nathan’s toy car comes in handy… well, better than moving bags of sand by hands!!! Also, with the little help from the 2 years old!!
