Summer Vacation to MI 2008

Nice JOB Slacker!! So it is the end of summer and we have had two great vacations and I have fallen really far behind in the old blogging. Here it goes.

This first picture above is of a slightly wind-whipped Taylor pointing with both hands (one sometimes is just not enough) at a dog that just ran by. We spent the day on the beach of Lake Michigan and the night on Ron's sailboat. Days don't get any better than that. As you can see below, the beaches of Lake Michigan are absolutely amazing. Taylor likes to eat on the run, so naturally she prefers to roam the beach head with a nice full bag of "O's".





Below is a picture of Ron and Taylor at the American Cancer Society Relay For Life in Muskegon. I was still in working back on the east coast but from what Kris said it was a very powerful and moving event. To learn more about these life changing events click Here. Taylor as you can see was all smiles as she tried to grab her GrandPa's hat.





Sea Gulls above, sunset below. As you can tell, my wife diggs photography. She is really good at it also. Even when someone forgets the little doodad that connects the tripod to the telephoto lens, she finds a way to take wonderful shots. Really it is a team effort. I am the photographers assistant, which means it is my fault if the equipment is not working right or missing. But sometimes the photographers assistant can come up with ideas such as using the roof of the car as a platform to take some slow exposure shots of the sun as it sets over the "Big Lake". The shot below is one of my favorites because we were working so well as a team and had so little time to adjust the settings as the light changed by the second. We have more where this came from, but it will cost ya.





And here she is, spending the morning on her GrandPa's boat. How sweet it is, Taylor
