Laine wouldn’t get in and pretend to drive – Lanie joined me for a short hike on the Yellow Trail at Busiek. We went off-trail a bit so she could see the old panel van. I wanted Lanie to get in and pretend to drive, but the lack of any sort of solid floor put her off the idea. 2 pictures
Big Fish – The Black & White Selection – I love black and White photography. It’s my preferred medium for portraits. But most people expect color pictures so now-a-days I tend to go with color and make the B&W copies for myself. Color is especially expected with the theater 15 pictures
Big Fish – Saturday Matinee Performance – Another great performance, and this time we were joined by Ginger’s parents, and Susan, Dennis, Matt, and Betsy. 70 pictures

The team is now 13th in the country. Well done everyone! Lanie will be going to the National competition in …

Bragging on Lanie – Lanie’s been very busy recently and we’re very proud of her. If you watch the video you’ll see why. What she didn’t mention in the video is that she is maintaining her grades and she is still involved at church. Video: 3 minutes & 4 pictures
