Tech Fest
We had a BLAST at Tech Fest! This was an event held in Edina for kids at the Community Center, presented by “The Works.” It was a free event, complete with presentations, exhibits, guest speakers and lots of chatter about math, science and innovation! I of course was reminded of a time when Ashish use to volunteer as a coach for a grade school LEGO’s Team. I think their team name was “The Techno-Hurricanes.”
Nishad’s favorite part was creating and designing a car. I helped him start it off, but then he had his own idea of what he wanted to do. His car was unbeatable! He had 10 year olds and 11 year olds asking him to race them and he won. Then they would ask him for a re-macth. He was pretty proud! We made a mini-hover craft and launched a rocket we made. We were even able to take the control of a robot! Pretty cool stuff for a 3-year old! Arun’s favorite part was the “Green Monster” robot that tossed a big red ball in front of him.
We stopped off at our favorite Indian resteraunt for lunch- Taste of India in St. Louis Park. We arrived hom and we ALL had a nap. How rare is that? After we woke up, I made falafels for dinner. yum! It was a perfect Saturday~
Shoveling Abound!
After listening to the weather forecaster, we thought for sure that Nishad would have school on Thursday as we were expecting a bunch of snow! Regardless, I’m convinced that the Wayzata school District never closes. (ha,ha) Luckily for us, the snow waited until about 11AM to begin. Ashish picked Nishad up from his pre-school and worked from home half day. The following day, they had school as well. However, the roads were fine…It was a fast system that dumped a lot of snow on us and then moved out quickly. Friday, after I picked up Nishad, the boys and I had lunch and then we went out to shovel some more. Needless to say, the both of them were not happy about the temperates and are more beach lovers than snow lovers! So, we headed in after about 30 minutes… I try to ’embrace’ the weather, at least in front of the kids. I’m really ready for Spring though! It’s a good thing March is right around the corner. I recall being in Florida 2 years ago the first week of March and having our flight re-scheduled because Minnesota got 18-inches of snow! I’m hoping this was our last B-I-G snow fall!
