Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

Every year Kate’s childhood friend Ryan gets people together to enjoy Coney Island and take in a Brooklyn Cyclones game.  It’s always a great time, and I always say we need to go to these games more often.  Tickets are like $13, and if you get there two hours before the game you can pay $5 for prime parking.  This year before the game we met up with a bunch of other Mineola alumn and their kids (and a nephew) for a walk around the aquarium.

NYC beaches – Overcast sky, lots of people with way too much gear, kites, shipping vessels, planes, seagulls, sailboats, sand, litter, trannies, unorganized dancing, dudes with snakes and/or birds and/or bandannas, shoot the (insert something stupid), fake palm trees spraying water…

…and fashion.

I really do like it though (Coney Island that is), I guess the country kid in my get’s a little overwhelmed.  Good thing we could ease into it by going to the aquarium (kids selling water, vending machine lines blocking the entrance, barely dressed woman(?) in her (it’s?) late 50’s wearing something crochet).

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about aquariums, especially after reading about The Cove, but you just have to let some stuff go.  Not to mention I thought I might sneak out a few good flicks.

First up, a show with sea lions.

Erika brought her 3 year old (British) nephew Joshua.  He judged our American dance music and choice of entertainment, all while wearing a Yankees cap.

Sharks.

Jellyfish!!

Coming up in part two of our adventure…  Baseball.
