For Mother's Day/our anniversary, Robert decided to get me a new camera! I have been bugging him about it for months, but didn't think I was getting my need for a new camera through to him. He didn't understand why I needed a new camera when the one I have works just fine (for all of you photographers out there, I am sure you understand needing to upgrade size of megapixels... duh!). After he told me about the gift, he gave me a budget to work within... Given an amount, I researched several different makes and models and finally settled on a Canon Powershot A590IS. Maybe one day I can advance onto an SLR, but for now I am content with my advanced digital. We picked up the camera on Memorial Day! This is the first shot that I took:
Later on that day, we went over to Robert's parents' house for a BBQ and Family Home Evening. Part of our lesson involved communicating with others in order to built a twinkie tower. The tower had to be at least 3 inches off of the ground, using ONLY plastic silverware and had to be able to support 10 twinkies for 5 minutes. We were given 8 forks, 8 spoons, and 8 knives. The teams were chosen by my niece, Noelia, and my nephew, Diego; it ended up being boys vs. girls. And the girls ruled! The guys started cheating, using clothing and cups to help support the twinkies... Our tower was totally legit! In the end, Lisa and I took charge and plowed through, but we had help from some of the other ladies in the family. Poor Cami! Everytime she tried to help, the tower collapsed and we would have to start over. But we appreciated her help anyway! It was fun and entertaining.
