Long Beach

Last month I went to sunny Southern California with some of my family and visit some family that lives there. The only problem was that the sun decided that it would rather not make an appearance so it turned out to be a visit to cloudy, rainy Southern California. While the lack of sun subdued the trip a little it was still a lot of fun and just nice to get away for a few days. Below are some pictures of lovely Long Beach.

Days

It is days like today that make me wish I was here doing something like this...

Vancouver BC: Day 1

Our first day in Vancouver in pictures naturally!

Crossing the border into Canada. Who knew that would be the easier crossing?

Lions Gate Bridge, connecting Stanley Park to West Vancouver, as seen from our hotel room.

The view of Downtown Vancouver from our room.

The same view at night.

Looking towards Lions Gate and beyond at night.

The purpose of these sculptures is to make you laugh. It worked on us, what about you?

Sunset at English Bay

Enjoying the sunset at English Bay.

One more picture of the sunset to finish up our first day. Thanks to Russ, Alana and Becky for making this such a fun trip. More pictures will follow, so please come back soon.

Memorial Day 2010

A few highlights from our Memorial Day Camping trip to Sand Hollow and Zion

Eyes on the Road

My little brother (well all my family really) is pretty funny. He never fails to make me laugh, sometimes with him sometimes at him! Come on, what are older brothers for? Take this picture for instance. It seems like a pretty normal picture, that is until you take a look at his eyes in the rearview mirror. Like I said, my little brother makes me laugh.

On the Lookout

Don't let the innocent looks fool you, this child is a bully. After she steals your heart she will most likely hit you in the face. But since it is done with a smile you can't help but laugh and ask for another. Plus could you really stay mad at that face? I didn't think so.

Sweet Tooth Overload

Awhile back me and the Fuzz made some Upside-Down Apple French Toast and I can tell you it was an overload for any sweet tooth. It went a little something like this:

PhotoShuffle Numero 5

Congratulations to Becky for winning the previous PhotoSuffle. She is now the proud new owner of 10 Bonus Points. This weeks winner might just get their very own MisterE music mix, so comment away...

A CornerView Holiday Recap

This year we were lucky enough to have snow for Christmas.

My niece borrowed my camera and I have about 20 pictures of this manger scene.

I am lucky to have a large family and extended family so close. Here we all are at one of our finer moments.

No, I did not build this Gingerbread House but I am a little sad that is it bigger then my real house.

And last but not least a new Holiday Tradition was born...of course it involves food!

JanPics

The other day I was looking through my photos and I realized that I have none from January. I don't know why that is, it is a perfectly fine month. I must have just been out doing other things without my camera or perhaps my camera, being afraid of the cold, decided to stay behind. This year I have decided to remedy this. As proof I present a random January weekend. Enjoy!

PhotoShuffle #4

Congrats to Caity who won the previous PhotoShuffle and the MisterE Xmas music mix along with the 10 bonus points. Keep playing for your chance to to rack up those bonus points. Also you never know when I might feel like adding a prize to go along with those must have bonus points. This weeks photo will be the 20th photo down and the 10th photo across from my adventures over the Holiday weekend. As always best caption wins.

Fall-ing

This past weekend was the perfect fall weekend. Here is a photolog of some of the highlights.

(Notice the snowball aimed at me!)
