Slidin'

So I wanted to do a post on our trip home from BKK today, but ran out of time... but thought I'd put this video up from our vacation... it's just a few seconds long but shows the fun slide... we have an awesome case for our camera that lets it be an underwater camera - super fun :)

ok, now that I know it's not a specific type of camera that goes underwater, I am inspired to find a case to fit mine. Where did you find it? Details please! If you don't feel like posting it here, you can email me! erin.goettsch at gmail.com

hey! We got the case on Ebay - can't remember much else, but if you search underwater camera case you can find it... ours isn't a hard case, but a soft one - and it was cheap - around $15 I think...
Dipac is the brand name of ours :)

That's great! But I want to see a picture or video of you going down the slide holding the camera out videoing yourself! Just imagining it makes me laugh. HAHA!
Anthony and Sharon said…
Fun! You're a great self-videoer...I would have just shown people the sky or something:)
We've seen those cases and I'm totally freaked out to try one... but now that you've proven it works we'll put it on our 'toys' list:)

Fun stuff! Did you take Aashini down the slide?

Funny Things 2 - American Fair Edition

We just got back from Roadtrip #8 in Macon, GA. It was an awesome trip!! So, before we head out on the next trip, we went to the North Florida Fair! The fair is always famous for it's fried foods... they fried everything!!... They had fried/breaded zucchini, Mushrooms, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Onions, green tomatoes, okra, pickles, etc :) I had a lot of it too - YUM! Now, I'd heard of fried Snickers & twinkies (which they had) but they also had FRIED OREOS & PEANUTBUTTER CUPS :) The fair was cool. They had a shark show and a sea lion show... but our favorite was the pig races :) haha!!! It was hilarious!! Aashini was close up to the race until the pigs came - then she crawled up into Adam's lap really fast :) (as seen below) :) Pig races! haha! Cracks me up!

Dusshera 2012

This year, our neighborhood was quite active for Dusshera.  At one end of our street, one of the major political parties here, set up a Dusshera celebration.   Here are some guys putting the effigies together and filling it full of fireworks! They had quite the political statement for their celebration.  (Basically that expensive water, fuel, electricity, diesel, gas, etc and FDI (bringing in foreign companies like Wal-Mart) are like Raverna (the demon god)... and are the evils of today....)  Here's their set-up at the end of our street.... you can't see it very well, but they had all three effigies there that they burned....  They burned VERY quickly at this one... So quickly that by the time I pulled out my camera, it was already on the ground!!  Our street looked like those CNN videos of rioting cities :) haha!!  There was burning stuff all over the street :)  Many people will get a piece of the leftover wood/bamboo...

Starbucks!

 Starbucks opened in our city last night!!  I'm not a huge coffee drinker... but I was excited about the opening!!  (I think I like Starbucks because of all the green! haha!... Aashini and Diya think the mermaid on the logo looks like me... haha! Maybe it's the weird wavy hair :)... not sure :) ) Anyway, we got there and the line was SUPER long!  The wait time was about 45 minutes!!!  There were so many people there!!!  I tried to get a pic of all the people... (that's why this picture is at an annoying angle... I was trying to get it all in in between the columns :))    Here's Aashini doing a jumping picture!!  The girls tried to do a jumping picture :) haha!  haha!  They had a few spills along the way :)  I never got them both jumping :)  Stuff for sale....  OK, one more because I think they are cute :) haha!  People waiting in line :) Some friends that made it insid...
