New Camera & the Swim Park

Joel is a photographer, a good one too. He has several awesome cameras, with amazing lenses. They rock. They take great photos. They are also large & expensive. To get a good photo from them it helps to know what you are doing (f-stops, aperture, etc.) I do not have that particular set of knowledge and it makes me a bit nervous to handle these prized possessions of Joel's anyway. So, I've always had my own no bells & whistles, small, simple little digital point-and-shoot. However, last year, while celebrating our anniversary no less, I dropped this great little camera & broke it. Permanently. No fixing. I was sad.

So for the last year I have really missed my little camera. Especially when a great photo op arose during a normal day with the kids. Recently we've been able to replace the camera for me. Joel did a TON of research & found a great little one that is **drop proof** and bonus: waterproof too. So....when we took our first trip to the local swim park this summer the camera got to come along too! Here are 3 of my favorite shots of the kids having fun in the water & sun. Looks like this new little camera & I are going to get along just fine. Thanks, Joel!
