The camera was sent in for diagnostic test, etc and has since been returned to us 'fixed'. Thankfully the guarantee is for 2 years so if anything goes wrong in that time period it will be replaced. It appears to be fixed and I am thankful that it is back in our possession. Why does it seem that when you have the camera you don't use it as often as when you don't have it but find you NEED it?
Last weekend we went hiking down a trail that is quite near by. The kids enjoyed hearing the little frogs croaking, climbing hills and trees, and picking Lupine for me. Toward the end of the trail we came across a 'shrine' to a little mut complete with picture, planted flowers, and a solar powered light.
We couldn't help but stop and of course take a picture.
The past few days have been filled with test prep and SAT's. Two days of 'bubble filling' and sitting still for long periods of time was taxing. We needed to get out! So, today we went hiking in Malibu with several friends. The kids (of course) had a ball in the frigid waters. Initally they were told to just roll up their pant legs, but after slipping on the rocks and falling in - it didn't matter. Harrison enjoyed jumping off the large rock. He even gave a few older boys instructions on how to go about doing the same. All the boys came home with tadpoles the size of golf balls. Five of them became personal pets. I would put them in the tank with the fish, but I think they may eat my fish.
