Double Story Post

I have to begin with this:

I love my two big kids more then anything in the world. (E. Shea, too, but she doesn't hold a part in this story, not this year...) No worldly thing could make me love them any less. They're my world, they're my life!!

A couple of weeks ago Colt had taken pics of the kids carving pumpkins. Later that night Kids A and B got a hold of the camera... here is the damning evidence...

Kid A's work

Kid B's work - Marley got a very good pic out her bedroom window.

To make a long confusing story short my camera is now on it's way to a Canon fixit shop in IL where it will hopefully be fixed and returned to me in tip top condition.

We were still able to take pictures but unable to see the result of these pictures on the little display window. (What did we ever do before the digital age?!?!) You know those Fisher Price cameras for kids? Guess what we're going to ask Santa for, this year!!!

This last Saturday (Nov. 1st) Colt and Corbin went on this massive hike with my brother and his two boys. This hike was a huge deal for two reasons. It's Corbins FIRST EVER hike and it was a major hike. I'm not sure of the exact distance but I'm sure it is something I wouldn't have accomplished.

I told Colt to take the camera, even though it wasn't fully working I still needed some pics. This is what happens when the lens cover (for lack of a better term) doesn't open/close all the way.

That's Jaxons cute little head that we can't see.


A little better.

And better still.

I love this pic. Look how high up they are!!

Taking a break.

Just getting started.

Before they left - Corbins first hike!

I am so proud of Corbin (& Jaxon & Tyler) for doing this. Corbin absolutely loved it. He even brough some sea shells (I know!) home with him. I'm so glad they did this and that they all came home safe.
