Ares I-X Launch

This is one of the perks of working were I do. You get a front row seat to all the launches.

Although he really wasn't feeling up to it, Kyle really didn't want to left out of all the fun and excitement. I guess he paid for it over the next couple of days.

This was the end of a great day. Ella had a great time trying all the games and going into all the bounce houses.

Ella at the Gorgiana Methodist Pumpkin Patch

Ella made sure she spent time in front and behind the camera lens. On top of that, she picked out and decorated most of the little pumpkins.

Kyle really wasn't feeling up to the trip, but he hung in there like a trooper. Once he found his pumpkin he was content to hang out and wait for the rest of us as we enjoyed the sites and sounds.

Ethan at the Gorgiana Methodist Pumpkin Patch

If it weren't for the 80 degree temperatures and the high humidity, I think we would have forgotten that we were in Florida.

Ethan, my youngest, had the best time running from one set pumpkins to the next.

Launch Photography

Been a long time since I posted something on my photo blog. Thought I'd start out with a few choice (in my opinion) launch photos.

Keep your eyes peeled, I've embarked on a couple of new projects in which I will be generating a nice catalog of images spanning a wide range of activities.

I saw this plant while visiting Balboa Park in San Diego. It looks like something straight out of a Dr. Seuss book.
