My mom on the local news!

March 22, 2013 by

FOX44 – Burlington / Plattsburgh News, Weather

Well everyone, I have something totally different to share with you all today! My mom lives in Vermont, where I was born and raised. She lives in an elderly type apt. home. Her apartment in way at the end, right by a corner where two roads meet.

Well a few days ago some kid was driving fast through town around 2 AM in the morning. A cop started to chase him and he drove down toward where my mom lives.

He lost control of the car, went right between two trees and hit the back side of her apartment right where her bedroom is! It punctured a small hole in the wall and knocked everything around inside.

My mom happened to be sleeping out in the living room so she was not hurt, just shook up. Anyways the local news crew came over that day and did a little story about it with my mom. So please check out the video above and see my mom! :)

Disney’s Magic Kingdom Celebrate the Magic show video

March 11, 2013 by

Once again it’s time for me to show you all some things I took from the holidays over at Disney! This Youtube video is one I took of the new Disney “Celebrate the Magic” night time show at the Magic Kingdom.

I took this during the Christmas holidays. What they do is transform Cinderella’s castle into a giant screen they project many different Disney characters, movies and other fun things.

It’s really amazing to see this in person, a video does not do it much justice. Seeing the whole castle jump and dance, transform into different colors and shapes is really something.

It is also done with music, which you can hear in the video. Plus they add a few fireworks and stuff. Actually they have their main fireworks show right after this show. It’s something you want to be sure to see if you go.

They only do this on select nights, or peak season. So check to see if it is being played and plan a night to go when it is. You’ll be really glad you saw this amazing show!

Disney Christmas Electrical Parade Youtube video 2012

February 9, 2013 by

I took a lot of pictures and videos during the holidays at Disney. Frankly it’s very crowded during those times and I’d rather not be there. But it’s the only time you can get pictures and videos of the cool holiday decorations.

Above is a video I made of Disney’s Electrical Parade at the magic kingdom. It was during this years Christmas holiday. I don’t think it really changes that much from any time of the year.

I took this video right at the start of the parade as they come out of the back area in the front of the park. In hindsight it would have looked better if I had taken it in a different location.

I’ll do that next time! Anyways if you’ve never seen Disney’s Electrical parade at the Magic Kingdom, this gives you a good idea what to expect. It looks much better in person, a video really can’t do it Justice. Enjoy! :)

Disney's Epcot Soarin' ride review

Soarin’ Over California is the newest ride addition to The Land pavilion at Disney’s Epcot. This hang-gliding simulator flies you over various landmarks of California. Many guests say that this is the most popular ride in the entire Walt Disney World theme park.

The attraction opened in 2005. Gentle tilting of the seats and wind effects create a simulated flying sensation. The three rows are designed to hold 87 guests. Two theaters double the capacity.

This popular ride uses state of the art technology to lift you 30 to 50 feet in the air while projecting panoramic images of the Golden State of California. The journey starts at San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge.

leather roses
JustLeatherRoses™

Very soon it will be Valentine’s Day. This year why not give your sweetheart the type of rose that will last forever instead of just a few days? I’m talking about handcrafted, quality leather roses!

A dozen leather roses or even a single one is a very unique gift for Valentines day. In fact lots of people don’t even know they make leather roses, not ones that look like real ones anyways.

These leather roses come in long stem design with real leather making the rose petals. A bouquet of a dozen or half dozen red leather roses come in a clear plastic long stem rose box with ribbon, tissue and glitter.
