Christmas Light Walk

January 3, 2016 - This afternoon we met with friends for some post-Christmas cheer by visiting the Anheuser-Busch Christmas Light Walk at the brewery.

That is quite the wreath!

He's bundled up and ready to hit the walk.

Th first beer sampling station is dead ahead!

lagers, ales, hot chocolate, cider, limearitas  and strawberitas

Gotham City in the Christmas time... if you've ever wondered what that'd look like.

"City sidewalks" lit by the glow of these decorated trees.

Ice Skating

January 31, 2015 - So, I'm kind of facing a dilemma with this blog.  On one hand, my family is taking more photos than ever before, so I could post pretty often, but averaged quality of the posts would decrease because so many posts would consist of cellphone quality photos and the ever repugnant, but increasingly prominent "selfie." 

So, I'll try to find a good recipe for a mixture of everyday life photos and event photos taken with the nice camera.  If you have a preference for one or the other and for the frequency of these posts - please leave a comment and let me know which kinds of posts you enjoy the most. 

(Or I could just look at the statistical data for each post and utilize my online marketing acumen to figure it out...

...nah, just leave a comment!)

Alright, Noah and I seem to have become the perennial social butterflies of the family.  So, this evening we attended the FCM annual family ice skate.  It worked out that Marscel was able to come along with us.

The beautiful ice rink at Shaw Park

It was a beautiful night for ice skating.

Granted, I'd use that phrase for any day that had a temperature under 60 degrees, but it was a "beautiful night" in the conventional sense.

This picture was taken by Melanie Thomas (who came later to skate) and stolen from the Thomas family blog...shhh...keep it a secret and she'll never find out...

Walking back to the car with Melanie and Marscel

Noah and I loved being able to catch up with friends and we had a blast ice skating!

Does this picture look familiar?

The planetarium

We also saw a Buddy Davis conference…

…and listened to a lecture by Dr. Georgia Purdom.

Uh, Emma…that’s a sweet smile ‘n all, but have you looked behind you?

Ah, now she sees it!

Trying to feed Gideon to the T-Rex

Ah...he doesn't look the least bit scared.

In fact, I do believe that's a smile on his face.

And you thought that I couldn’t top a #dromedaryselfie from the previous Creation Museum post?

New exhibit

The exhibit’s primary feature was an absolutely astounding bug collection

The new exhibit receives two thumbs up from this critic

2007

At the end of the day we had the opportunity to quickly meet Ken Ham and have a photo taken

So, I’m curious to know how many people – if any – were observant enough to notice that I added a few photos from the visit the day before…did you notice the different clothes?
