Puppies and Festival

Yellowstone Photowalk

I'm still working on my Teton and Yellowstone photos, but here are a couple from the Worldwide Photowalk at Old Faithful.

Do you know what a photowalk is? I didn't either until I signed up for this one. we had a group of about 45 people, all with cameras, walking around the 9th and 9th area of Salt Lake. We had a great time and learned a lot form each other and the photowalk leader.

Here are just a few of my favorite images from the walk. I would have liked to have more pictures, but i had to run to Xander's baptism, and left the walk early. I will be going on another photowalk while we are on vacation in Yellowstone. If you want to photowalk, there is a utah group that meets monthly and there is a worldwide photowalk taking place on July 24.

The Magic Show

We've seen this magician several times and he is funny and surprises the kids every time.

We didn't see any tricks with the bunny, but he was pretty cute.

The Hunt Part Two

ASUU had a great easter egg hunt- they divided it by age.

It wasn't much of a "hunt" but they did make the hallway dark- it made it a little bit more difficult to gather up the right color eggs for Imogene- pinks and purples

When Xander's age group started, they said: 'no limit, as many as you want' xander filled his basket and my pockets, and there were still eggs left over.

When we got back to the carnival- they were dumping eggs into the younger kids baskets- they still had two huge boxes of eggs!

Easter Carnival

Mimi's favorite part of the carnival:

Theh fishing pond gave fun little prizes:

Imogene loves bounce houses- she couldn't get enough.

Egg Dying Round 2

Everyone worked hard and 5 dozen eggs got a lot of color

The boys enjoyed making two colored eggs and trying out the shrinking plastic wraps.

Ever wonder who a two year old gets her eggs out of the dye??

Now you know.

3 Gigabytes

What could be bad about having a 3 Gig memory card for your camera you ask?
Having to process 633 photos.
Pictures like:

The incredible escaping baby

Imogene and Gypsy

MiMi queen of flour messes

One of the better pictures from a very cold day

Xander (one of the best pictures of him that day)

And 628 others including 246 of baby lexi.

I feel so free now I have a blank memory card and a goal to take more pictures in the coming year. I'd like to try for a picture a day, but I may have to do make-up days because I am already behind. I'm not going to stress about it- I just want to improve my portraits and photographs and more practice means better pictures.

Other pictures from the memory card will be making appearances in later/earlier posts, so stay tuned.
