Mostly about my amusement
Since last week we were planning on taking the kids to the Flushing Chinese New Year’s parade today. This morning we got to the parking lot on Union Street before 9 AM and we were the first into the restaurant. The parade started at 11 AM so we were waiting for about an hour for the parade to start.
Except for it getting really cold, it was a good parade (with some funny moments). You can see the Flickr set here. The kids had a great time.
My daughter’s Kindergarten class has a pet hamster named Bear. Every Friday, one of the kids in her class gets to take Bear home for the weekend and get to feed and play with her.
Yesterday was my girl’s turn. Both kids are excited and I have to keep reminding them that Bear is not a toy. They don’t hurt the hamster but they are kids and they need a grownup to keep the pet in good shape. Now the kids want a hamster for a pet. That’s not going to happen unless I can get a cat (and since Lily does not want a cat, we remain pet-less).
It’s an interesting experience and I’ll take photos and post them on Flickr.
