Ok – so the 4th was a couple of days ago! We’ve been so busy here that I didn’t get a chance to post these the other day. Better late then never, right? We have had a great holiday weekend. Lots of parties and picnics with friends and family! The kids have had a blast too – the like nothing more than getting to hang out in the water all day. Meg has decided that my sister’s jetski looks like a giant bumblebee – and what’s more, she claims it’s “my bumblebee” now. So it looks like we’ll have to get a jetski for Meg when she gets older. Here are a few snapshots from the weekend I wanted to share!

Colin loved squirting his sisters with the squirt guns!

Colin jumped on the jet-ski as soon as they brought it down to the lake!

And the girls climbed on as soon as Colin got off!

I’ve also had a few people e-mail me with questions about my point & shoot camera. I use a Canon A720IS. As you can imagine I did a lot of research before buying one and this one came out on top (I should also note that I’m a canon girl – I think their products are great and like that I can swap cards between cameras.) The A720IS is reasonably priced, has manual controls and isn’t so small that it would get lost easily (yet still fits into a pocket pretty easily). It also has some of the best image quality available from a P&S. Of course it’s still not close to a dslr, but there are times I just don’t want to lug my giant cameras around.
