Ice Rink

After our busy day exploring Chester and New Cumberland, we visited my father-in-law. On our way home, we dropped by at Marland Heights Park to see their progress of the so called plan of tearing the swimming pool down and turn it into an ice rink.  We found out that they haven't started it yet.  

It was nice though because we met with two of my husband's  old friends whom he seldom see.

It would be nice if they can push through with having an ice rink because  there is no one that is near the area.

Anyhow, our Sunday was a busy one.  We were out of  home the whole day.  It was already dark when we got home but it was all worth it as the kids had so much fun!

Transit Bus Ride

Our kids always wanted to experience riding the transit bus here in Weirton. We finally decided to ride it last Saturday.  While waiting for the bus, we took some  photos.

The fare  for each adult is $2 and the kids are free.

Most of the passengers of the  transit bus are the old folks who live in  an apartment downtown.  

We  finished the entire route of the bus so we get to see some parts of the town  that we seldom drive into.  The bus driver was very nice to let us finish the whole laps of his route.

It was a good experience for us, it was  my kids and my first time riding a  public vehicle here in the area.

Edge Trimmer

My father-in-law has this manual yard edge trimmer.  My husband  showed the Burritos how to use it  when we visited Dad a couple of days ago.

Children's curiosity is a great way to introduce them to  things like this one.

I like this kind of trimmer because  you do not need to charge it or  put string  in it to cut grass.  The next day after my husband showed   our kids  how to use the trimmer, we saw Dad's neighbor using their   manual  lawn mower which I found to be very neat and practical to use. I'd love to own  manual  lawn mower and trimmer because it is  convenient and cheaper to use.  You don't need  gas  to operate them and it's not  as noisy as the electric ones.

Rainbow

There's always  a first time for everything right?  With my 7 years of living here in the States,  the very first time  I saw a rainbow was  last month when we were driving home from Kennywood.  My husband saw it in the rear view mirror so the only  way I could take a picture of it is through the back window of our car.  

"Be thou the rainbow in the storms of life. The evening beam that smiles the clouds away, and tints tomorrow with prophetic ray."

-Lord Byron-

Not a perfect shot but at least I got to capture it and I got to see  a rainbow for the first time in 7 years lol.

Relaxing Sunday

The photos below were taken last Sunday after we got out from church. We decided to take the kids to the park at Marland Heights before we visit Dad.

Ms. Burrito wasn't feeling really well that day, we figured that if she  gets  enough fresh air that she will be okay, and she did!  A relaxing Sunday  spent in nature  and family, just perfect!

Let me tell you  some Q-things  about me.  I am a quiet type, I am not good  with quarrels, I used to be quick-tempered but I think that I am getting better at it now.  

It is so nice to  spend quality time with  family especially your kids.  They grow up so fast and soon they will leave  your care and have their own  lives.  Hubby and I wants to  enjoy the  moment  that we have now with them.
