    OMG!!! bhahaha... my son has asthma and when he was 6 he sucked on a cup and turned his lips and mouth blue! I had no idea and we spent 5 hours in the ER as the doctors tried to figure out what was wrong with him. The doc finally asked, 'did you suck a glass up against your mouth?" he said.. "yea".. case solved! To darn funny! Peace ~Lisa

  • @debolsen3294
    @debolsen3294 7 лет назад +5

    Eve is adorable and great little dancer! Did she dance when you first got her? I wondered if that is how she kept herself entertained in the orphanage? We avoided fireworks here. One of my dogs is 14 years old now and has panic attacks at the sound of gunfire of fireworks now.

      Eve may have saved the whole family from a really unnecessary situation especially if they had already done Disney World fireworks. I don't really feel the NYC fireworks are a very patriotic experience.

    1. The 4th of July crowd at LIC is the worst. It was a smart move to turn back home!
    2. Eve should totally join a ballet/dance class while she's in NY. There are great groupon deals for LIC. It would be a fun activity for her, while the older kids romp around NY!
    3. Instead of Chinese takeout, it would be a worth while experience to take the family out for dimsum. There are pretty great dimsum restaurants in Queens and Manhattan. You''ll have to rely on Daniel and Esther when it comes to hailing down a cart and ordering the food, but I think it would be a fun experience for everyone!

    • @ashle130
      @ashle130 7 лет назад

      Carlos Martinez, what? What part of Europe did you visit? Lol
      All of them are insane. Especially the major cities. By far more crowded than NY or SF

    • @carlesmiquel
      @carlesmiquel 7 лет назад +1

      Let's have a ride: Sweden...Sundsvall, Gavle, Goteborg and maybe Malmo... rolling into Oulu and Tampere in Finland. Even Stockholm and Helsinki may have 1/100th of the people in Philly or Chicago, SF, LA, London or NY. Since they're going to France... Strassbourg, Paris... yes, Paris (though I would never live there)... Lille, Amiens, Reims, Rouen and all the towns by the river, Bordeaux. I would avoid Marseille but not Nice. Bayonne, Tarbes, Pau and Toulousse in the Southeast. From Brest to La Rochelle... In Belgium Bruges and Gant. Just any place in the Netherlands, ports being an exception. In Germany just avoid the really industrial and large cities and you have a wonderful country, especially in all of the Bavarian region... so many cities and towns to name. The only place I would avoid in Spain would be Madrid but not its gorgeous surroundings. La Mancha could be home forever. Same for Portugal, where I wouldn't avoid Lisbon. Zürich and Bern would be out on my map for Switzerland. Italy is game for most of the country, although I'd just visit Rome (you need years to understand this city which is the most interesting place in the world or a very convoluted place to visit) and Milano. Napoli is a one-morning thing if you're not culturally inclined. The rest is fantastic, almost anywhere you go north or south or the Islands. Poland is a little bit different. So many remnants of the Soviet architecture destroyed many cities, but it's a country full of history and amazing countryside, lakes, and towns. The Czech Republic, same thing, so as for Slovakia, but still wonderful towns, countryside, rivers, lakes and forests, and tons of History. Don't know about Romania and Bulgaria, but Hungary, Bosnia, Serbia, and Croatia are amazing, just stay away from the old industrial Soviet towns. Their capitals have a lot to learn from.Slovenia and Greece are awesome places to travel around. Of course, there are some not so nice spots. But much better than almost anywhere in the world. Ireland and the UK offer massive beauty and some of the most unforgettable views and scenery in the world. So, yes, all in all, I would avoid ANY city in the US that may be 100, 200 years old, and dive into the mysteries of our History without the crowds. Just think about this: Chicago was around 1000 people in 1830. Now, it's 3 million. Bologna founded the first University around 1080 and has less than half a million in population. I mean, Europe is huge in the number of countries, History, and many other things and it's the result of thousands of years of culture. Few ugly overcrowded cities and a way to learn about the world as no other place on Earth.

    • @Lily_and_River
      @Lily_and_River 7 лет назад

      I guess it depends on which cities you visit and on which days. I live in Rotterdam, the Netherlands and it can definitly be as crowded or more as in this video when there are things happening like fireworks or national days or important sport events. Same in cities I visited like, Amsterdam, London, Prague, Venice. It also depends if its on summerholidays. I didn't even see them really walking in between people on this video. It could have happend on their way back if they stayed I guess. But isn't that part of the fun. Though I don't know what I would do if I had 9 kids or kids with special needs, that's a different situation. But I do feel that it can be very crowded in cities in Europe in the summer and also the streets are more narrow. It seems like you just avoided the really big and crowded cities or certain crowded events.

    • @Lily_and_River
      @Lily_and_River 7 лет назад

      Also in their other video's when it's not 4th of july it really doesn't seem very busy to me for a city. Just normal or even calm. Especially the trainstations. It is always busy on the trams/underground in Rotterdam. So I guess it also depends on what you're used to.

    • @ashle130
      @ashle130 7 лет назад

      I'm talking large cities. NY doesn't compare to what you just named. The same things you just listed can be accounted for in small American cities but if you are going to visit somewhere the same scale as NY you are going to see more crowds and tourists.

  • @audreyrochon6817
    @audreyrochon6817 7 лет назад

      @HouseOod 7 лет назад +1

      there's not much to do in NYC. It gets hyped by the local sponsored content press - politicians tweet as if this is their achievement. I guess it is good advertising for the city but like so much else about NYC - other places do it just as well if not better but just don't hype it.

    I Love your vlogs. You guys are amazing. I did the New Years Eve firework in London a couple years back and as awesome the firework was, I'm not sure I would do it again. The way home was horrible. We were stuck in this huge crowd, there was only one way to go, no underground running and it took us forever to get to the next train station (were we had to sleep because the next train home was at 9 isch and not like we thought at 5!) But after spending 6 month in India, crowds don't seem so huge anymore ;)

    @meganwritesalot9149 7 лет назад

    I love my city of Milwaukees fireworks show. A lot of people come, thousands, but I'm sure it's not as many as that come to NYCs. But they do it at a huge park on the lake front, people camp all over the park but you are able to move about and do other activities, and your "site"'is enough space to grill out and such. Only thing is if you want a decent site you need to get there at like 7am lol

    Sometimes it is better to admit defeat and get out before you compound the defeat. Been there done that.

      it also looked like a heat stroke situation and the fact that other people around them were staying put doesn't mean they should follow the crowd. A lot of people joined the Nazi party too and that was another terrible idea.

    Good call.
    I did New years eve fireworks in London with my family on my sons 21st birthday (We traveled from northern England) Honestly, It was freezing, 4 hours stood up waiting, 15 amazing minutes and a brilliant atmosphere and then 2 hours walk back to the hotel because nobody told me the crowds were so big they shut the underground. Arhh. Glad I did it. Won't do it again! :)
