Andrea's Rambling Notes - once from Japan, now from Canada

::Andrea's Rambling Notes - once from Japan, now from Canada::

My notes and my memories: sometimes about a mom - sometimes about a wife - sometimes about a woman - sometimes about our life

::Author::

Name::Andrea
From::Small city/town, B.C., Canada
I am a short girl from the west cost of BC, Canada and I am a proud Canadian. I went to Japan in 2000 because my Dad told me I would regret it for the rest of my life if I didn't. He was right. I lived a good life found my husband from the other side of the world and have a beautiful daughter. Basically we lead a pretty normal life filled with normal ups and downs. We both come from different cultures: me Canadian, him Chinese. Living in Japan was a real eye opener about who I am and about the people I associate myself with. I lived and loved in Japan but the time to move on came upon us and in May of 2006 we left and moved to Canada: a huge move for us all. We are now trying to start up again, remodel our lives and create our future for our family. I now feel like a tourist in the country of my birth, my eyes see different and my life will be forever changed. This blog is my notes and observations of our life, our changes, our adventures and new beginnings. Welcome.

Party in the Park

Oh little town of "Wack" is having a party every Friday night in the mostly cement park they built recently. It is very close to my place so my best bud C came out with Ji and I to check it out.
They had a Farmers Market, a children's play zone, crafts and live music.
It was actually quite good. The music was very enjoyable and everyone there was having a great time. I seemed to spend most of my time chasing after ToddlerJi - just to keep an eye on her cause she was having a blast.

First she made herself a little Princess crown. She actually told the lady that she wanted it to be pink and then C, ToddlerJi and I put all the glue things on it.

She then dragged me across the park area to go and visit the RCMP mascot. She was very excited to see him. He was the "Big Dog" she said.

And then the bubbles!! OH MY GOODNESS PEOPLE!!! The bubble machine kept her happy for almost an hour!

She danced and ran around with many other kids. She got prizes from the singer on stage and had a wonderful time!!

We had to steal her away at almost nine pm and whisk her home for a shower. She fell asleep very easily this evening.
