August 2009
Before school started again, we needed one more last vacation, so we headed down to Lake Powell. Here are a couple of choice "extreme" shots.
LOOK! You can see under the board!








Kaja and chauffeur were the only ones to get out on the tubes this trip.

I had to teach Christine how to skip a rock. What form!

On our vacation Christine turned the big 24. We substituted a yum-yum bar for cake, and match for candles.
We took a scenic ride down to Hole in the Rock. Pioneers came down this crack with animals and wagons.

I tried to capture the wonderful night sky at Lake Powell. It's harder than it looks, but I got some okay shots.

Our 4th of July festivities continued onto the 5th of July (rough yes, but someone has to do it). We had another barbecue at my parents with more fireworks.




Note to the adventurous soul, don't wave a roman candle over your head...unless you get a cool picture out of it.
Don't worry, they are merely cap guns.




On a recent trip to the cabin, my dad had the great idea of putting the slip n' slide down the hill at the cabin. Everyone enjoyed it, as you can tell by the looks on their faces. Some of them look more scared, but in the end everyone liked it.



We also went on a ward campout. I took the opportunity to practice a little bit of night photography.

Believe it or not, this picture was taken at about 10:30 at night. I learned that you can do a long exposure and the picture looks as if it were taken during the day.
July 2009 - Part 1
As with every 4th of July since the beginning of time, our 4th of July began with a trip to see the balloons and enjoy the breakfast. However this 4th we decided to avoid the crowd and instead went on the 3rd of July.
Look at the concentration!



That evening we went to Christine's parents for a barbecue and some fireworks.



The 4th began with the parade.




Don't worry, that liquid isn't Emily's doing. Well it might be, but not as a result of a leaky diaper.

What 4th wouldn't be complete without a rousing game of cornhole...
...and some serious slide action.
