J's new camera

Jesse has deemed himself worthy of a DSLR. We had some fun subjects come up for the weekend to test out the camera. T-Man was an especially willing model. Can I say how fun it is to have family relatively close by? We've counted ourselves lucky to see these guys once a year previously. Now they can't get rid of us! We went sledding on Saturday. The perfect kid hill is just a block down the street in a civil war cemetery. The $5 snowboard goes the fastest and you can load the most people on it. The kids and E played some vicious Clifford Uno during their downtime and had to settle it with paper, rock, scissors. Thanks for coming up E and kids.

As he's the subject, can you tell who has been doing most of the camera testing? And who is going to install Lightroom (thanks Tony) after this post is up? Not really his fault. Within an hour or so of getting the call that his dissertation was approved he was fielding calls from the stake president's secretary. Meet the newest member of the bishopric:You can laugh uproariously, smile slyly and wish him good luck, or just tell how uncomfortable he looks on the stand. Those have been my favorite reactions thus far. And of course, condolences to his wife are welcome as well.

Nikko and Kanegawa, snow

We found some snow in Nikko. We couldn't get the kids to walk because they had to stomp in every snow bank. The walk to the shrines took twice as long as it should have. Here's Miss G posing in the snow somewhere in Nikko. On Saturday, we went sledding at Mt. Hunter. Their mascot is half a hard boiled egg. Let's see if any of our Japanese speaking friends can figure that one out. Maybe I'll send you something cool if you do!

The one of M is posed in the parking lot because Jesse was with her the whole time and I didn't get ONE picture of her sledding. G went down the tubing run by herself. She wouldn't let me sled with her, either. It was a little scary for me, but she was great. She stayed perfectly in the middle, so she never fell out. I hope we go again, because it really was a lot of fun.
