Making Memories

Project 365 – #188 photo by Munchkin I think it’s easy to get caught up in the gotta spend money to have a good vacation mentality, but the reality is that some of the most memorable times (at least for us) cost the least amount of money. We love being able to head out into the desert and explore. The only cost to us is the cost of the fuel to get there and back. The memories that we create are priceless. Normally, it’s quality family time without lots of distractions. It means that we have plenty of time to…

Cowboy Up

Posted in Family, and Photography

Project 365 – #187 D decided that he needed to cowboy up a little this weekend. He was tired of just sitting around the house, so he said that we were going to do a little exploring. We took his truck out and enjoyed some of the desert trails. He did pretty well. Since it was a long weekend, he was able to recover from our trips by relaxing. (We didn’t do any hiking – just driving around.) It was fun to be back out there exploring as a family. We’d all missed it.

Project 365 – #186 photo by Munchkin Is this the face of happiness and contentment or what? “Puppy” loves to go on trips and outings with us. Normally, he’ll just sit in the back seat, curl up, and fall asleep. Lately, he’s taken to moving over closer and closer to Munchkin in the back seat. (We have bench seats in the trucks.) Pretty soon, he’s resting his head on her lap. He’s happy as can be cuddling close to her. Yesterday, Munchkin captured his silly content face when he looked up at her. We all just laughed when we saw…

Happy 4th of July 2011!

Project 365 – #185 Yes, I was able to get a closed mouth smile for Independence Day. 😉 May you and yours have a safe and happy Independence Day! When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.…

Still… no smile…

Can you see how big her eyes are getting as she focuses on the bees in the bush??? She really, really dislikes bees, but she was a good sport about me taking a few pictures just the same. Really, she did not want to smile. She thought about it a few times. She even almost smiled, but it didn’t happen. I’m not even posting some of the really funny pictures of when she was really staring at the bees or giving me dirty looks for making her stand near the bush where the bees were located. I guess I need…
