Movies and Underwater Camera Fun

Inception, movieWe went to go see a movie this weekend; INCEPTION – awesome movie… Nope — no details. You’ve to watch this one to really get the effect…

I’m not going to give anything away with the movie, but the degree of suspense that this movie generates is impressive. There’s nothing in this movie they could’ve omitted and still had the same effect. I think they could’ve increased the story line 30 minutes and still kept me on the edge of my seat.

Ethan’s been doing great at the pool; learning to swim [mostly underwater] and it was like over 100+ this weekend, so it’s time for the pool side..

Thanks to Ivan and Linda for being so nice too us on that… Great neighbors!

Becca found a great deal on an underwater digital camera [CraigsList or something] and I fired it up, made sure it was okay and we put that thing to work… Having fun!

Some More Pictures From The Birthday Party

This is from our friends daughters birthday party. Maddi was turning one… When we got there it wasn’t that bad, but it was getting warmer; It was close to 100 deg by the time the party was over. Luckily we had some covering and a good breeze.

Even MORE Pictures From The Dallas Arboretum; Part Duex

FILE0003When we went down there it was already around 90 degrees outside; this is only May.

The Dallas Arboretum grounds looked outstanding[...] there were so many flowers and trees and just a bunch of special areas. It was the perfect opportunity to catch some nature pictures. It was funny- the squirrels must be just so happy in there… They were everywhere and they were having a ball… Even with people, they seemed very comfortable getting close.

We walked around for about 2 hours, but as the day went on, the heat was really starting to set in, so I think we cut it a bit short…

These pictures were taken with my little black camera; my little AIPTEK 8mp / 720p HD video camera. It’s not a high end camera, it’s so simple. One button picture, one button video – easy. I was surprised at the quality of some of these shots. There were a few that didn’t make it, but here’s the ones that did make it.

 

Enjoy!

Spring is cranking up- it’s getting hot!

image Wow, how time flies… Last week we got some red mulch for the flower beds and tried to make few things look a little better. We got some tomatoes, bell peppers, Jalapeños and some herbs. We had a old friend drop by last week; Kim was here on Wednesday. She was here on business, but managed to get some free time and drop by our house.

Beck found a patio set for an incredible $40. It’s a large table, with the tiles you can replace, 6 chairs; two of them are rocker/swivel chairs. it came with an umbrella and stand, but we didn’t need it.

And there’s more…
