Travels Continued . . .

Needless to say we reached our destination. We got there at 10:00 p.m and visited until 1:00 a.m. We went to bed and woke up at 8 or 9:00 a.m Saturday. Me, my brother (Dash), and my guy cousin explored Salt Lake City, near Temple Square, all by ourselves. We took the Uta*Trax tram/trolley there from Sandy. . . First we walked around the Salt Lake Temple grounds. That place is so peaceful.
My cousin wanted to stay there forever. Then we decided to go see "Joseph Smith: Prophet of the Restoration" in the Legacy theatre, inside the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. I've seen in before, but was happy to see it again. It's a definite tear-jerker. My cousin said he cried all the way through it. Salt Lake City is getting big, it reminds me of Sacramento. We went to the ZCMI center, after the movie, for lunch.
We ate McDonald's because it was cheapest.
:D After that we went to the Beehive House for a tour. There were sister missionaries from Ukraine and England there. It was really fun hearing accents. :D *Cheesy grin* I love accents. There was an Aussie one in the North Visitor's Center of the the Temple, where the Christus is. That's the last place went to,before we went back to my uncle and aunt's house on the tram.
Not long after we got back, we had grandpa's party. It was fun, just about everyone was there on my dad's side of the family. Some of my married cousins were there, and I got to see there new babies. So cute. :) My cousin Heather, got my grandpa to do a dance. Not the waltz kind of dance, but the modern dance-by-yourself dancing. ;) My brother got it recorded on his small digital camcorder. It was funny. We took lots of pictures. A bunch of my grandpa's siblings were there.
At the end of the day the kids went to my cousin Ben's house and played video games. I played for awhile, but was tired so stop. And that was Saturday.
On Sunday, we went to church. Then went back to the house we were staying at and had a barbecue. And that was my vacation. :)

Library Memorial

^I made this sign. :) A year from today, my public library closed down because of lack of funds. So we had a rally/funeral/memorial service for our library today. A group of people and kids march down our downtown area and up to the courthouse front steps. Reporters from the local news, radio and paper were there. The newspaper that was doing the story could send out a photographer, so I got to be the "photographer" I took pictures and I read a poem I wrote about the library closing. So I might appear on the local news, which is weird and cool at the same time. And here's the poem I wrote: Destruction of a Library World of Words, Their time is ending. On the shelves they sigh a bitter sigh. Why should people cry? Only words on paper Behind brick walls Why do I sigh, This humble cry? Why do the words mean so much to me? How can people not feel what I feel? About an old building that smells like old paste That binds together beautiful words In the arms of ancient paper Old...

Summer fly was buzzin' . . .

At long last, Oregon has decided it's time for summer. Or it at least thinks it should be warmer. Oregon has strange weather. Yesterday I went on a hike at a local trail and it was nice. There was a lot of bright flowers, and a beautiful waterfall. I'll post some pictures soon, along with some others I've taken recently. My photography class is officially over, and so I have nothing I can tell people so they don't think I'm some lazy bum. (Which is true, but people don't need to know that.) So that's all, I just thought I should make a post, I haven't done it in a while.

Now The Parties Over, But Don't Abandon Ship Just Yet

I don't know how many have been following my 365 photo challenge, but it is finito!  So does that mean the end of my blog? Nah.  I'll still be around, here are a few things you might be seeing in the near future. Instead of a daily photo, I hope to bring you the best photos of the week, month.  Anyway you look at it, there will be photos. Do you ever wonder what all those functions are for on your camera?  I've come across many people who don't know how to use their cameras beyond AUTO.  Thus I will be debuting "Stepping out of the Little Green Box".  Each post will focus on one feature, so you can learn without getting data overload.  I'll keep it interesting and short, because let's face it. In this day and age, we want out information short and sweet. Do you have any suggestions, questions?  Put a comment down below and I'll answer you.
