Scavenger Hunt Sunday {10.02.11}

Filed Under: Family, Photography Tagged With: scavenger hunt sunday

Inspired by a Book or Movie

Jurassic Park anyone? We went to a BBQ Fundraiser yesterday with my parents, my sister and her two daughters. Dustyn wanted a dinosaur. Every kept calling it an alligator though.

Brown

I have been playing with HDR processing. It is so fun. I edited this using some Lightroom Presets. This was where my photo shoot took place on Friday.

Photography love...  

Hazy

From my shoot on Friday. I have added a bunch to my photography page on Facebook.  Can you see the rings? I had that great idea but they kind of blend with the sand…

Coffee or Tea

I have a couple secrets to tell you about this photo. One it was taken with my iPhone and two it doesn’t actually have coffee in it. I don’t like the taste of coffee. Surprising? I really wish I did. Cause I could use the boost. This is the Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino no coffee from Starbucks.

Sunday Snapshot

Linger

Carsyn could have lingered all day on this pony. He had so much fun sitting on it. This was at the BBQ yesterday. Dustyn rode a big horse. More photos from that day coming soon.

6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13).

Today while eating lunch I told her it was close to coming out and we would need to pull it before bed. While eating chicken teriyaki she thought she swallowed it and spit out the chicken in her mouth. I dug through it and it wasn’t there. She started freaking out. Then looked on the chair and it was sitting right there. 🤣 A similar thing happened with Prestyn on one of his bottom teeth. My kids never want to pull them out until they fall out on their own. Ha.
