Phew.. June..You Spin My head right round....

So much has gone on in the past month or so..

I just haven’t had either the time OR the opportunity

( Thank You Stupid Computer Virus) to post many of the pictures of these events..

A.k.a Laurel and Dante’s Communion pictures.

My Birthday Pics… Father’s Day Pics and so on..

But I did manage to get some up and running ..

S0 I just thought I’d give you a very brief look intosome the happenings around here..

Maria and I have really enjoyed our Photography classes… although… it’s really hard to believe they are almost done.

I can see that there is so SO much more to learn… and with so much packed into the session…. I may have to take the class again.

( What can I say… age is creeping in…)

June proves to be one of the busiest Birthday months..

Starting with Me and Martin…

Then of course there is Aunt Ya Ya

Pete

Niece Jenna

Ending the month with Matt

( and checking Mamma’s Bloodwork)

Them thar…is a lot of Birthdays…. but hey.. it’s fun…

Speaking of Fun.. Mr R and I did something spontaneous this year.. we decided to head out and check out the first day of our towns “Liberty Fest” .

We had not been there in many many years… Our kids were … well.. Kids..

I was surprised to see how big it had all gotten..

I took the opportunity to get the camera out and practice taking a few shots..

I LOVE the look on the faces…

The kid holding the goldfish seems to be saying..

“DUDE.. My Fish looks like it’s gonna hurl”

I thought this girl was so pretty .

My honey trying to win me a prize…look at the concentration.. the sheer motivation to win the “BIG ONE”

Because you know... I really really need one of these guys in my house !

In the spirit of adventure… we even went on the Ferris Wheel..

Which is really saying something.. since Mr R isn’t really overly fond of heights.. (Probably a touch of “VERTIGO” )

Why’d he go?… He thought I could get some good shots..

I did..

Isn’t he great?..

Once we came down from our high..

We ran into THIS fine specimen…

A face only a mother ( camel ) could love..

An apparently this guy…

“My what a lovely Camel Toe you have there”

( Sorry.. I couldn’t resist)

This little guy was so darn cute…

So was this little guy….

THIS… guy … was just plain cocky…. sorry.

This event isn’t just about fun..games… prizes and rides.. it IS Liberty Fest after all.. and in our town we have several monuments and memorials dedicated to our troops.

It’s always important to remember those who have and do make it possible for us to live in freedom.

And enjoy the benefits of this wonderful country.

Yes.. I would say our impromptu outing was a very big hit !!

June has been full of many beautiful

Beautiful

Beautiful things…

Now go out there and make some memories !!
