A video funny

My video camera found it’s way into the hands of my 10 year old and the results were hilarious.

No girls were hurt in the making of this video.

Ride a roller coaster with me

By Monica Brand, 10 July, 2009, No Comment

If you connect with me on Facebook, then you know last week the kids and I spent the day at my amusement park of choice, Hersheypark. My brother, sister and I spent many happy vacation hours racing from ride to ride at Hershey when we were kids, so I was more than ready to finally get one of my children on The Comet. It took coaxing – and the promise of a short wait in line – to get Peter to ride with me. This is the video evidence of his reaction. Ride with us and enjoy!

Vimeo picked up my little video to add to their Corkscrew Bootlegs channel. Check it out if you’re into watching people scream their way through roller coasters.

Captured! Little anole lizard meets little hands

First of all – I’m glad I’ve enough sense to be wearing nail polish. If I’m going to show my feet to the Internet, I want my toes to look presentable.

We keep calling this little lizard a gecko, but I think it’s a Green Anole. New Jersey is too cold for these little ones in the wild, so it’s a fun treat to find them in Florida. This video was taken at Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park.

Enjoy!

Torch held high: home schoolers visit Lady Liberty

Lady Liberty. She’s witnessed so much from where she has stood. Hope, joy, freedom. Pain, evil, hate. Today – a bittersweet day as I watched my children enjoy chasing the gulls and looking over the harbor to Manhattan.

You can’t help but remember when your eyes scan the downtown.

The Statue of Liberty – she testifies well enough on her own, so I’m going to get out of the way now and let my video her do the talking.
