We got a new canon elph, kind of a Christmas present to ourselves and we had a blast with all the cool settings and features. This picture and the next we were trying out the macro setting. Oliver (Mom & Dad W's cat) really appreciated me using him as a test subject. This was the last picture I got before he ran and hid :)
This picture was after we discovered the color selective feature... pretty neat.
Okay, enough playing with the camera.
Cherith, Stephen, Justin & Sarah were wonderful enough to invite us on their post-Christmas vacation to the Smoky Mountains. Thankyou! So, New Year's Day we left to go visit the bears.
Here is a really cool picture Andrew took from the car on the way to Tennessee.
This picture was taken on our 8 mile hiking trip, right as we were nearing the end of the hike. Andrew has gotten really good at the waterfall pictures :)
Andrew and Stephen at the Chimney Tops.
Here's a night picture from the back porch on our cabin. Quite a view.
And a sunset picture.
On one of our hikes we found this carved in a bridge. Thought JC & KC might appreciate it :)
And since we're on the subject here's a picture of their little girl Gillian.... Isn't she precious?
Her brother was already in bed though, so no pictures of him :(
And, back to the trip to Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mntns...
This is Andrew zorbing. He got a whole outfit and everything so he could roll down the mountain in a giant ball :) Looks like fun! (Gatlinburg is the only place where zorbing exists in the US at present)
Oh yeah, I said we were going to visit the bears didn't I?! (This guy was about 10 feet away from Justin & Andrew while they were loading the car to go home, they quickly ran inside as soon as they realized he was observing)Back to Arkansas...
Andrew was up at the University on Sunday and found his name in the sidewalk!! It's kind of in abscure place, but it's there.
Hope you enjoyed, we'll try not to let it be so long in between posts (I finally figured out how to post with our macbook). Goodnight!
