I do not even know where to start! We had a great and very long weekend. Let me start at the beginning.
Thursday: After work we headed to Hendricks and we headed out to a guy's house who lives over by Toronto and he was having a party with kid blow up games and all. They had a fireworks show that cost $10,000, a band that was $5,000 and food for $3,000 so it was not just a little party. We were there almost 6 hours and had a great time.
Friday: We woke up and headed to the park to watch the homemade boat races at the beach. Those are the pictures when Trevor was playing in the water with his clothes on (red shirt) we sat on the beach and watched the race while he played and got completely soaked with water. Then we headed to Cindy and Dan's cabin and had a picnic and then got ready for the boat parade. We were one of probably 40 boats and this lasted about an hour. Trevor then caught a quick nap before we headed back down to the park for the Whopper Feed and then on to the Street Dance.
Saturday: After eating a great breakfast at the cafe we headed to the lake where we spent most of the day by the water and riding in Curt's convertible to the parks. Saturday night Diane watched Trevor and we traveled to a place called the Lodge for drinks and that was also a great time.
Sunday: After Trevor and Jon were done fishing bright and early we ate breakfast and played in the water for a little bit Trevor hit the worst part of the day (very very crabby) this was our que to pack up and get on the road. Not more then driving for 5 minutes he was out!! We got home in time to unpack, relax and watch a movie.....what a weekend!
Well as of last night I had read the first 70 pages of the manuel for my new camera so it was time to play with the lens. I went around the house and took some pictures using the lens, zoom and more. The thing I love about it is that the closer you get to an object the more it blurs out the background so you can focus on what you are taking a picture of. Here are some of the photos that I took.
Mydland stood still for about 1 picture so then I moved to my landscaping.
Okay enough of that I do not want to make any fall asleep. I hope everyone has a great 4th of July and I will of course have tons of pictures on Monday!!
Here are some pictures that I took with my new camera. Last night we went to Ivanhoe for Kumla and to visit with Grandma Dottie so it was a great chance to play with my camera. The top two pictures are my favorite. Enjoy!!
For some time now I have wanted a new digital camera but could not stomach just dropping $550 on a new one so I started saving my money. For my birthday I asked for cash and with selling a few things here and there I saved up the money. So last night I wanted to head to Sioux Falls to spend my money on that one camera I have wanted forever. I found it and not to mention on a clearance rack.....yep it was great deal!!!! It was on sale because the new models just came out and they wanted to get rid of th
e old ones. Now I am so excited to start snapping pictures but I need to learn how to run it first, the manuel is like 200 pages long! Watch out the 4th of July is around the corner and I will have this thing glued to my hand (watch out Marilyn).
For those of you wondering what I got well here you go:
Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT Silver - 8.0MP Digital SLR Camera
