Working on Sand

We even got to watch some sand sculpture artists at work, it wasn't very interesting though haha.

The Winner


This is the winning sand sculpture of the contest! They all had very tall pointy tops but this one must of won because it was the pointiest lol.

Sand Scupltures






There were some freaking awesome sand sculptures from around the world! Well the people who sculpted them were from around the world haha.

Rock Balancing


There was a guy who was skilled at stacking rocks... As you can see he was pretty crazy good at stacking some small ones and then a big one on top of the smaller ones. This is a fail picture of me trying to balance like the rocks haha.

The fair!


The CNE - the Canadian National Exhibition is a huge fair let me tell you... we walked around for a long time and we didn't even see all of the fair. Maybe we'll go again next year. =)

The Fair food!

They had some pretty interesting food at the fair, including tiny donuts!

Pinball playing!

This is another of Ben's wonderful narrative videos, hope everyone enjoys!

Boxes Galore


This woman was sitting in a cardboard box in her car. Not only was she doing that but she was also using cardboard to block the sun to prevent her from getting tanner. As Ben tells me "mainland china people are very very weird."

Peanut


Peanut apologizes for me with her cuteness for the lack of posts!! I haven't been doing much lately but I'll have tons of stuff to post after this weekend! =)

Bobby's Bday




For Bobby's birthday we all went to Tako Sushi and he really likes the lobster there. (Sorry everyone but these lobster were crazy big, I had to take a pic.) They supposedly weighed 5lbs each! Oh and Ben is really good at taking the chopsticks out of their paper covering and making a little spot for them to rest on which is wicked. Oh, and he also got a flippin' pinball machine! Terminator 2.

Dave and Busters




Went out to an arcade and food place which was awesome. First experience of a big arcade like that with classic and new games. Too bad Ben and I aren't the most skilled players out there because they had a game of my favorite movie! Aliens! Go Aliens and Sigourney Weaver!!

Young Grasshopper


Ben and I had a travelling companion as we drove from lunch back to the house. We are seeing lots and lots of these little green grasshoppers! He is probably the 3rd one we have found on my car. Crazy!

Cicadas and Fruit on the side of the Road!



I wish I had taken a video of this bug because maybe a minute after I took the picture a robin came along and ate it! As Ben and I were walking to go get donuts and coffee we happened to see that plant on the side of the road! We thought it might be a watermelon or something. :P

Allison Kelly, Cookie Surgeon M.D.



... and then shortly after I turned the camera off, Allison said very seriously and matter-of-factly, "Yeah, well, I'm quirky."

Then she laughed and sprayed chocolate chunk chunks all over my face. Funny but gross. But funny. :P

Eat Yo Greens!


Mocha and Peanut munching on some spinach! Missed the part where they ate so far on the stalk that they kissed haha.

Carwarsh and Ridiculous Ladies



Went to get my car washed after we discovered some horrid bird poop on the back, I was amused by the colors of the soap. Ben has shown me countless women on the street that wear this full head visor. It literally covers from their hairline to their chins. It is quite frightening, the asian ladies are scared of getting tan and not looking white. Or so Ben says haha. I will try to get a better picture later on.

This one is for Aunt L


Saw this restaurant, think you should come here and try the food with us sometime. Only you could judge this restaurant haha.

Vet visit



Took Peanut and Mocha to the vet for the first time for a check-up. Brought them in their new carrier and everything! Poor babies really didn't like the experience, even though it was good for them.

New Phone


Got my new iPhone up here! Very very exciting. (I think I'd look pretty good on a poster for Apple. Except I never would. :P)

Indian food


Ben took me to go try some Indian curry because I've loved Caribbean and Japanese style curry so much. Didn't take a picture of the curry but of this spiced chicken we got. It was totally red and had green juices coming out. Crazy!

Trap


Bobby did a contest for an original art piece (this one) and it's pretty funny. Poor bunnies, never get any sympathy.

Crazy Clouds


We went to go eat at a buffet and saw this beautiful sunset! Hannah would of loved to take a high-resolution picture of this. =)
