Family Adventures

It was hot last weekend and we wanted to find someplace a lot cooler to go and rest. Well the cooler and fun happened but not quite the resting part.

We ended up going to a place called Drift Creek Falls. Man o man is it a neat place, its on the way to Lincoln city and up in the mountains. The trail is about 1.5 miles one way so a little more than 3 all together. Good thing I threw our family snack pack on my back.( hee hee) It was one of our best adventures in the great unknown.

It was the perfect ending to a long weekend.

Free comic book day

We have found a new family outing to do every month.

FREE COMIC BOOK DAY

The boys wanted to dress up for it, in the paper it said if you dress up as your favorite comic book character and get some free extra goodies.

When we got there the boys were so excited, they had Starship troopers, Wookies, Darth Vader, GI Joes-3 i don't know the real names, ti fighters, Joker, Batman, etc....

They were in heaven.

We went inside and they got free comic books, comic book toys, cards, all because they were 2 of 3 kids that dressed up. It was awesome!!!

Travis was Wolverine and Mickey was commander Cody from Star wars.

Inside they had some of the guys who draw for the comic books and one guy who makes the castings for the figures and ornamental statues. It was really neat to see the expression on mickeys face when they were asking him if he liked to draw and were interested in what he can do. They told him to keep it up and he could be sitting on there side of the table when he gets older. How encouraging for him was that!!

I cant wait for next month it is already being marked down on our calendars and talk about lunch after.

Pictures

Just so i can put it some where, i posted a picture for the mission24 blog and hope it does well. I just wanted to show the original then the after playing with it

Here is the original, before touch ups

....after touch ups/playing with Picasa.

I wish i could have entered them both, they just turned out so neat. The original was all natural lighting, . I feel like I am getting a lot better at this.

update

I am doing another blog along with the regular ones i have. It is a photography blog, where all sorts of people join and just have fun with there camera. Its tons of fun and i posted my first time the other day.

The word was HOT, so i sat around and debated what to do for it for ever so long. Then finally i came up with this photo. I Love the color and really loved doing it. So I will post more often on here, i don't even know if anyone ever really reads this blog. I gave it to family and no one has ever told me they read it or even friends. So here's to keeping up with my blog and not giving a rats buttootie if anyone else reads this. So wish me luck, the next word for the weekend is "Key". Not quite sure what to do with this one so hold on and it will get posted.
