I've finally figured out 1) how to use the camera and 2) how to incorporate pictures into the blog. Look at me, being all tech-savvy. (This is the part where Ben rolls his eyes and says "if you'd just asked me for help, you could have know all this stuff 2 years ago when we got the stupid thing!). So, for your viewing pleasure, some of the vacation highlights.
4th of July - Clear Lake
From our beach, watching the fireworks being lauched from the island
The last remnants of sunset
I finally figured out how to work the "continuous photo" feature. Behold the fruits of my labor:
It's Up
It's Beautiful
It's Over
(At this point I would normally make some sort of crude joke about the above captions, but this is a family show after all)
Very artistic shot of the lights across the lake
(or me swinging the camera around too fast, take your pick)
Sean and Sarah's Wedding
Sean and Ben, once they realized I was taking pictures
(Ben was the "Stunt Best Man" because Roy was driving in from Wisconsin)
Off to the ceremony.
I can't believed we actually managed to not blink, have real smiles, and not look like we were being tortured (this is a rare event, as evidenced by the pics that Chris and Jill took later on)
More fun with the stop animation feature. I think it's a little unfair that everyone only takes pictures of the bride walking down the isle and forgets that this is a big moment for the groom
Sean sees Sarah for the first time
Starting to loose it
And he makes a heroic recovery!
There's the grin we know and love
Shannon doing her thing
Ben and Chris rocking it out
Hopefully I'll have more pics once Suzanne gets the formal ones finished.
