The Camera is Busted

For those of you wondering why there haven't been any recent posts, our digital camera is broken. We took it on our honeymoon cruise in the Bahamas and it got salt water in it. Over the next few months, the internal circuitry corroded and it started acting funny. Finally, it stopped working completely, shortly after the last post.

We made sure that we got all the pictures on my parent's camera from our trip to Pittsburgh last weekend, but our camera is not yet fixed. Anyway, here are two of them.




This first one was taken at the family reunion. Someone brought bubbles; not just any bubbles - HUGE bubbles. Hannah could have fit inside some of these bubbles. Not only were they big, but one dip into the pan was enough to make hundreds of bubbles.

Bubble blowing technology sure has come a long way. I'm used to the old kind that you blow four of five bubbles, then the rest of the solution drips off the stick onto your hands and clothes. After 5 minutes of attempted fun, you end up sticky and frustrated.




The second picture is from my cousin's birthday party. She and her family live out in the country and a bunch of us decided to take a walk and see the neighbor's animals. On the way back, someone had the idea to make the two little kids hug.

Now, I have nothing against my daughter hugging a boy - although I would have to have a serious sit-down with him to discuss his intentions - but CLEARLY this pose was not a genuine act of kindness conceived by either of the childeren. I count four girls in the picture, plus the one behind the camera.

In any case, the kids did play well together and the girls all got their cute fix for the day.
