I love sushi, my husband, my sons, my family, sunshine, German chocolate brownies, mountains, arts and crafts, cooking, laughing, roller-coasters, making friends wherever I go, New Jersey, Hispanics, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, teaching, coloring, cookies and milk, my mom, movies, and that's it. And in that order.
So in earlier posts I referred to our time with my sister and our adventures and mentioned that we went to the Moody Gardens Aquarium. I finally had Brad look at the videos and help me get them posted! I know I had more to say about these videos but now I can't remember what it was. So here ya go, the videos I promised without any comments from the peanut gallery.
So, we wanted to do something special for Garrett and bring him to the aquarium. We wanted to show him all of the wonderful exotic creatures from all over the world, culture him a little bit, things like that. Well, that'll teach us for spending so much money on the aquarium, he had more fun in the parking lot with the seagulls (the rats with wings...). He'd have gone on for an hour if we would have let him, and if we had enough crap to throw at the dumb birds. - Brad
Anyone who knows Brad, knows he loves to catch, kill and/or eat animals of every kind. He is particularily grateful that our current location allows for many opportunities to do all three. As a combined Birthday-Father's day gift Brad got an out of state fishing license and all the stuff that goes with it. He's been fishing a few times and CRABBING as well. This video is of the first time he caught a crab big enough to bring home and eat. He did all the research to make sure we knew what we could eat and how we could eat it. And he loved every minute of it.
Brad and Dani's Excellent Adventures continue in Texas. Good ol Tehas. Where every person honestly believes that Obama is out to get them, racism abounds and Dixie Chicks are band. Texas...where every doughnut shop is owned by a Cambodian, Mexican food and dollar stores are more abundant than Starbucks and McDonald's than anywhere else in the nation and I've never seen so many Dairy Queens in all my life...combined. And Texas...where the Beloved East Coast Manna of Rita's has decided to franchise and the Little Couple from TLC decides to watch 4th of July fireworks. No, I'm not joking about anything I just said. I've never met so many racists or heard so many racist remarks. Sad, huh? And Texans really do think Obama has a conspiracy to destroy them. The funny part is that after every remark I hear about Obama it's followed by some comment about Texas leaving the United States to become their own country. How they could and would do it because Texas does not need the US, but the US needs Texas. I can't help but laugh at this Texas pride and paranoia. Oh! And yes, Rita's Water Ice ( pronounced Wuder Ice), the legendary east coast treat has franchised to parts of Texas! We came across one in Galveston! While in Galveston we also saw TLC's The Little Couple on the beach! ( They are really tan! I wonder if they fake'n'bake?) We spent the Fourth of July on Galveston's West Beach and Garrett really enjoyed it. I'll post some pictures now to compensate for the lack of videos. I've been trying to post those for 2 days now but for some reason blogger says it can't.
