I was raised in Mexico. I spent a lot of time in the water growing up. I live in California. I am a construction worker. I have twin daughters. They want a dog. My youngest daughter is Amanda. Daughter Amanda wants to get a Pomeranian dog. I'm scared of German Shepards. I have been swimming in the Rio Grande and Colorado rivers.
I am going on a trip to Hawaii soon. I have been to Hawaii three times. I am recently divorced. I used to be a Marine stationed in Hawaii. I love to scuba dive. I have two pet snakes called Bert and Ernie. I have snakes that eat mice. I don't like little dogs. I think big, protective dogs are great for families. I live in Oklahoma. I'm going to Hawaii on vacation. I was married before.
I just booked tickets to Mexico this summer. I want to surprise the twins. That's amazing! Have they been to Mexico before? I bet they will love it! I'm going to Hawaii again this year. No, they have never been there. They have several cousins there they haven't met. That's good for you. We both are going to back to our roots in a way. That will be great for them to meet their cousins! Yes I see what you mean! I miss working in Hawaii but it's great to visit there often. The only problem is finding someone to look after the snakes while I am away! I think it would be a great idea to bring a dog back from Mexico for my girls to keep. I bet it would be hard to find someone to look after snakes. Some of my neighbors have already told me if I ever get a dog, they'd be happy to look after it if I ever need someone to do that.  A dog is a great idea! What breed of dog are you hoping to get? I'd recommend a big protective dog like a German Shepherd. It's great that your neighbours would be happy to look after it! My neighbours hate snakes so I have to get my sister to look after them. Maybe a Chihuahua. I don't think I need a big protective dog. My neighborhood has a community watch organized, so my house is safe. That's nice of your sisters. My daughters are both 7 years old. I am excited because they are still relatively young enough to absorb some of my native culture and language. I don't like little dogs, but you have to do what's best for you! I can imagine how excited they are! Is your wife from Mexico too? No, she was born in the United States. This won't be her first time going there. Are any of your parents or relatives from a different country? No my family is all from Oklahoma. I wish I had relatives from a different country because it would be a good excuse to visit! I'd love to visit the coast more often and go scuba diving - that's one thing I can't do in Oklahoma! I am looking forward to scuba diving in Mexico. My wife has scuba dived before. I also want to bring my daughters to some archaeological sites while we are there. Also, I want to get them some t-shirts. My wife already has a few from previous visits. It sounds like you have a lot planned out for your trip to Mexico! I remember you love spending time in water. Have you been swimming in any more rivers lately?
