We went down to CT again (been down quite a bit this summer!) when Heidi & Jason were up to visit, and had a cookout at Dad & Di’s house. Great weather and lots of fun!

Took some pictures of Kristen’s puppy Brody while he frolicked in the yard.

The kids swam in the pool, of course, while we sat outside and enjoyed the sunshine, watched the Sox game, then later roasted marshmallows.

Then, while we were roasting marshmallows, Kristen was writing in the air with her stick – which made me think we could try some “light painting”. I set my camera on slow shutter speed with a tripod, then let her try to write and see if we could spell out words. Turns out actually writing words is hard, so we kept getting simpler until she was just writing “Hi”, and even then, it was backwards because she couldn’t write it backwards without seeing it! Then we tried shapes, which actually worked pretty well.
