Pictures!!!

How the time flies I just don't know. My apologies for not updating in so long. Since the last post we have been busy busy with lots of activities. With so much happening it has grown kinda fuzzy so I'm just gonna put up a bunch of pics and fill you in as we go (let's be honest, you came here for the photos). Enjoy!
(also, if you want to see really zoomed in views of the shots you should be able to hold shift or control and click the pic to see it by itself).
pss These pictures are from a variety of cameras- iphone, motorola razr, and a canon t3i. Now enjoy!

 

Dinner on the beach! 

Baked potatoes, roasted corn, and fresh salmon on the grill. Pretty fantastic. 

Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains in the background 

 Another Mac Pac

After about 4 sets of straps I started to figure them out.

Shopping with the Sass's

 Octoberfest in Leavenworth, WA

My hair gets like this when I drink from steins. 

Octoberfest after a beer or two.

 Pieces of an insulated vest I made

 Work in progress

Finished product!

 

Label for the vest

 Seattle (looking SE) from 60 stories up

 Seattle (looking NE) from 60 stories up (had a work meeting downtown)

 Good news everyone! Mac Pac's can easily accommodate beer!

 Fixin' skis. Sidenote: Jenny scored a sweet pair of skis off of craigslist for $35! WOOO!!

 

 The skis had some minor, fixable damage. This shot is of Jenny scrapping off PTex (that stuff fills in all the nicks and gouges on the bottom of your skis) 

 Melting PTex onto the ski to fill in holes. Yes, I burned myself. Small price to pay in the name of powder!

 

Step one: Drink beer from giant boot. 

 

 Step two: fix things at great heights using what is available.

 Step three: celebrate with more boot (and dancing)

 Bikes aren't supposed to look like that! (Flat tire)

 Got around to making myself a Mac Pac

 I finally figured out the straps. These turned out nicely.

 Strap anchors on top

 Settlers of Catan! (Best board game ever)

 Catan crew (at Cory and Sara's)

 Bad day to be a butterfly.

Puget Sound in November

 Puget Sound- looking South from Golden Gardens Beach

 Light writing! (long exposures with new camera)

 More fun with the camera (still figuring it out)

Jenny with our glowing potatoes

 Iphone sunset (well done, apple)

 again.

 Pumpkin carving fiesta

 21st Century carving.

 

 Turned out pretty great! 

Made a briefcase/protective case for my work laptop out of extra material I had lying around.
