First Time Shooting a Gun...

and then wandering in the woods around the shooting area. :) Bryan's Grandfather and Uncle taught me how to shoot and I even got to save my first target paper thing and bullet casings.

VT Trip for my Bro's Bday

Happy Birthday Jules, you da man! :)
And two photos I took while I was up there...

Dad's Birthday in VT (and a few others)

These are some photos that I took over the weekend while in VT for my Dad's birthday. We went snow shoeing through the woods on lots of trails that my Dad has been working on clearing out this winter. The greenery photos were taken inside, since my Mom knows how to keep plants alive, even though I don't.

Mother's Day

This weekend Bryan and I spent the weekend in Vermont with my parents. My Mom took me around to take photographs of some places that I have always wanted to photograph. Because she is the greatest Mom (happy Mom day Mom!) she weathered the cold with me and even found a new rare flower which she has yet to identify. My favorite photographs from the day are below.

Kensico Resevoir

Finally, I am posting 3 new pictures. I know - not really a feat. I haven't been striking gold lately, but I like the first and last pictures. Not so sure about the middle (yellow flower) one. 

Thanksgiving in VT

This week Bryan and I headed up to VT on Tuesday morning to spend Thanksgiving with my parents. We had a great time and cooked our first turkey (Bryan did the grunt work for sure, I kind of watched and made some squash :) ). It came out really good! And it was 26.9 lbs!!! Anyway Thursday morning I woke up and went driving around to take some pictures since it was so foggy. Here they are.... and happy turkey day!! I should also mention that none of these are photoshopped for the color. I thought it kind of looked like they had been.

Fall in Upstate NY!

Hola! This weekend Bryan and I went to visit his family for his sister's 10th birthday. It was a lot of fun! We drove up on saturday morning and stopped at an antique shop on the way. Bryan bought a GIANT piggy bank. I mean HUGE! Then we continued on to his mom's house for the birthday party. Elena called me desperate for dating Bryan. I tell you, they turn ten and look what happens! :). His grandmother, Grandfather, Uncle and two cousins came to celebrate. We all had a yummy lunch followed by really really yummy flan that his grandmother made. Then we just hung out the rest of the day. The next morning I got up early and went to take pictures in the hills behind his mother's house. Those are posted below (along with the Jess picture). When I got back I found out Bryan got bit by a crab spider!! It was in his sock and then he tried to put his shoe on and it bit him. He said it hurt. After Bryan's wound had healed a bit Bryan's mom made everyone french toast and raspberry french toast for Elena's birthday breakfast that was delicious! Later we had lunch outside where Ari (Bryan's mom) valiantly defended us from invading yellow jackets that made us scream like babies. I don't know how we have made it this far.

Enjoy the pics!!!
