We took Ben up to Mackinac Island this past weekend (Friday – Sunday morning). Had an absolutely wonderful time. We rented bikes and rode around the island, giving Ben his first bike ride, ever. Besides sleeping for about 5 of the 8 miles, he seemed to really enjoy the open road!
We had a nice time getting to visit with Frank and his family (all but little Freddy).

I’ve been neglecting my people by not sharing the photos I’ve been taking as of late.
This picture of Benjamin makes me laugh. Click it for more.
I saw this in quick blurb in my Popular Photography magazine a few months ago and forgot about it. This would be great for those with point and shoot digital cameras.
For only 22 bux, you really can’t go wrong if you’re looking for a “flexible” tripod/mounting system for a camera to help you get those perfect shots. The company, Joby, is also coming up with an SLR version of this.
Benjamin, your mother and I would like to wish you a happy birthday. You’ve filled out lives with joy, love, tenderness, and laughter this first year. You’ve taught us that there is nothing more important than you. People can wait. Activities can wait. You are the most amazing little boy in the whole world and I can’t wait to come home from work each and every night!

A few of my other favorites that I felt I had to post up here:
A bit out of focuse on its face. I was so close, too. 
The tigers were being very cooperative!
This lion was being very stoic for this photo!
My buddy Scott turned the tables on someone from Talk America!
