Lacrosse Holiday Lights 2011 / Tom's Christmas Concert.

Last Friday we went to the Holiday lights display in Lacrosse, it was pretty sweet! I haven't been to them in a few years and it was cool to see all the changes and additions they have made. It is just one of those things that gets you into the holiday spirit like none other. I have been working on some new photo techniques so some critique would be great, so if you want to comment that would be awesome! 

Please Enjoy.

I thought the fire breathing dragon was pretty sweet!

Last night was Tom's holiday concert and it was great as always... I'm glad that my camera actually worked for me and I got a few photos. It was a great time and the music students did really well. Again its another of those things that get you into the Christmas spirit.

Hope you all have a great Christmas, I'm going to try to post more regularly once I get to school.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

DC Trip Update III

Hit DC last night. Saw sights today, more info and pics... lots of pics later.

DC Trip Update II

For our first stop on our trek we hit up the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio... I have been here before but its still amazing to see all the great memorabilia, the building in itself is pretty much the coolest thing since sliced bread... 

After spending a few hours at the Hall of Fame (I could spend days there) we ate at the Hard Rock Cafe... It was really good and we had an amazing waiter, I think I could be friends with him...

Oh... we have a way sweet bus driver cause when he dropped us off at Hard Rock he pulled into this little street and this was the scene.

Then we boarded the bus and cruised out to Bedford, PA. The following is the scene after we got out of dinner tonight.

Goodnight world more updates tomorrow... gosh i have to be up at 5 am not cool anyway it will be cool.

DC Trip Update I

So I'm on my way to good ole' Washington DC... Tonight I am in Toledo, Ohio... more updates later... have to be up in less than 6 hours so I should sleep... goodnight world!

Nauvoo Weekend

Well we got to Nauvoo at about 10 on Friday night so we unpacked the van, checked into the Nauvoo Inn and pretty much just went to sleep. On Saturday morning Ryan and Christi took the girls to the park and I just sat around the hotel room and watched tv. They got back and I had the great privilege of watched the girls so they could go to the temple. The following picture is what it looked like when they finally fell asleep.
Then that afternoon we went out and saw some of the historical stuff and took a sweet wagon tour around old Nauvoo. The wagon was pulled by 2 horses that weighed a ton each, it was pretty windy and kinda cold, but it was very enjoyable.
Sunday morning we packed up the van and checked out of the hotel and went to church there were a lot of people and even the bishop said that he wasn't expecting that many people there. After church we went to Camp Nauvoo and set up camp and such. It was a really nice day but it was really humid. It was a good afternoon, I just chilled a bit and it was enjoyable.
After the kids got up from there nap we headed over to Carthage, where the Prophet Joseph Smith was martyred, in June of 1944 in the Carthage Jail. After that we decided to have some food and then we went to the park which just so happened to have a disc golf course. So luckily Ryan and I brought our discs cause we both know you can't leave home without them. Ryan did better than I did. It was only a 9 hole course and he got 2 aces, to my defence the holes were really short most of them were less than 80 feet. Monday we decided to hit up some more historical stuff and go back to Lancaster. So all in all it was a good weekend.
