Art fair in Langley

My 2 aunties and my uncle left for the shop at 8.30 and i was allowed to sleep in and go down with my cousin and his gf. They got up to go jogging which i obviously did not join them in as i hate running and i dun have any weight to lose just as yet. So i stayed at home and played with lucky.
At about 10+ 11, we made out way down to the shop. My uncle's shop sold pretty cool stuff like replicas of the terracota warriors and fossils of dinosaur eggs and and squids. There was an arts fair and it was an eye opener. There were so many beautiful things onsale. From paintings to bags to accessories. There were so many pooches there as well. It was heaven for me. There was also a few stages where people performed. There was belly dancing and music. Hotdogs and burgers were on sale and I had a burger for lunch. It was kinda big but i finished it. I also helped my aunt and uncle do some advertising by walking up and down the street wearing a scarf and carrying an umbrella from their shop. A waitress, Annete from the restaurant we had dinner at actually came as promised. My auntie also have me a pair of earrings anda pendant from her shop.
There was face painting and a magician and there was this booth selling princess tiaras. I was so tempted to get one for fun but then again, i could make it myself.There was also a chalk drawing competition for kids. I hung out at this native shop for a while and the owner happened to know my uncle. He explained a lot about totem poles and moon bouncers and sissityl (howeva you spell it) thingy. It was pretty cool. It had a happy face and welcoming hand in the middle and had 2 serpents at the side. Apparently that was to protect your home or something. I also learned that the poppy plant was also known as the flower of tears due to the pain it caused due to heroine and opium.I love that place. Gonna get some stuff from there one day.
I then went back to the shop to join the rest and then took lucky for a walky. I was told that she does not pee and crap in the afternoon but oh well, she did. She peed a few times..and mind you..she really peed...not the kind to just mark her spot.She then dragged me to a grassy patched and then stooped in a weird position and pooped! I had no plastic bag on me. Thankfully, this lady nearby saw and passed me a plastiic bag. she was a life saver. I then went back to the shop and soon followed the couple to go on their computer game console hunt. Before we started the hunt, we went to tim hortons to get a bite. The hazelnut cuppacino with chocolate drizzle was damn good. We then went from store to store and finally found it at superstore. We finally found the legendary Nintendo Wii. We were so happy...although i dunno y i was happy also. I also bought a pair of shades.
We went back to the shop to pick up lucky and went back home to wait for the rest before we handed back to granville to have dinner at Afghan Horsemen Restaurant. The lamb was nice.the eggplant and the rice was really good too. Th ambience there was relaxing and comfortable. After dinner, I went for my freshies 2007 gathering. Surprisingly many of them turned up.
We walked to a petrol kiosk to get some wood and marshmallows and then headed down to the beach. It was helluva long walk. But talking with my new friends made it shorter and less tiring. We set up a bonfire and toasted marshmellows. We talked and took pictures as well. A few of them then walked me back to granville island so that my auntie could pick me up and head back to langley.
We reached home at abt 12 and we started playing Wii. It was damn cool. The remotes were wireless and it follows your movement. I so wanna get one. We played bowling and tennis. But soon after, i was getting atad tired and decided to go to bed. The moment my head hit the pillow, i was gone.
