Newport Aquarium, German food and accordion fun!

So, yesterday, Kevin, Heather and I went to the Newport Aquarium and met up with Kate, Dave and Oliver. We had a great time and saw sharks, jellyfish and fish galore. My nephew, Oliver was racing all around the aquarium and actually laid down and looked up at the plexi-glass tunnel. It was adorable! He was so cute and dutiful dad Dave was right there to videotape him. That and watching him race around and then back to mommy where he could get a bite of pb&j. It was fun to watch.
After our antics at the aquarium, we went to Haufurhaus, or something like that, meaning "German Garden." Dave Kaiser is German and introduced us to a place filled with Bratwurst, German beer and accordion music! It was tons of fun and very amusing. I was surrounded by intestine cased meat and old cabbage---thus, Bratwurst and Sauerkraut---two of my least favorite things in the world. BUT, I survived the stinky Sauerkraut and had to laugh at the atmosphere filled with a polka music. The best visual was that of our waitress. I was looking at the menu and then looked up to see a cute brunette in striped socks and peasant blouse and short skirt---German attire friendly---and a belly ala baby! It was sooo cute! She had a basketball for a tummy and a smile to boot! AND speaking of boot, they had Das Boot to drink beer out of. Needless to say, that would have to be another time, but I did triple dog dare him to drink out of the glass boot.
The night was fun filled and Oliver walked around the place with Heather at his heels. What a good cousin.
Well, all for now from this mom, teacher, wife, daughter and writer! Happy Friday!
