Catch Up Time...

To start with....

This is going to be a long post! I had been waiting on Trey to complete his Science Camp blog. So, now that it is done, I can catch you up! I was going to post one blog for each thing we did, but since it has taken so long, I figured I would just add a little bit of everything into one! 

*(I am posting a separate one about our SeaWorld trip)

MAY 6- Freestyle Motocross here on Fort Irwin

These guys were amazing! They had such a short area to jump in, and I was scared for them the first few times they jumped. It didn't take long at all, though, for them to prove they knew exactly what they were doing! I have no idea how they can twist themselves around the way they do and still land safely on the other side, but they do it... and very well at that! My favorite stunt was the third down on the left. The guy would bring his feet up and kick himself in the head while hanging onto the bike. All the guys were great, and we all had a BLAST! Here is one more picture, just for fun, from that day...

DEUCES!!


MAY 20- Solar eclipse

These didn't come out quite as fabulous as I had hoped. I don't have a specialized lens on my camera for this type of thing, but I have an editing program that I hope will make the eclipse a little more visible. I will have to post those later, but this is what I have for now...

1. The beginning...

2. Somewhere around the middle...

3. The end...

As you can see, there isn't a big difference between the three, but they were taken progressively throughout the eclipse.
These are some other pictures I took while we were waiting for something a little more exciting to happen.... which was anticlimactic, to say the least.

William still likes having his picture taken.

Trey doesn't... so I have to sneak them. (He wasn't in a good mood this day.)

Alexander just loves being outside, even when he is strapped in.

Trey and William were about over the eclipse at this point.

I am looking forward to editing these to see if I got some neat shots, but it will have to wait until another day.

Thanks to all of you that still check my blog to see if I post... even when it takes me sometimes weeks to see anything new with us.
