From my Butterfly Garden:
For the Fourth of July we had a great time at one of our favorite campgrounds. My son picked this location since this weekend falls really close to his birthday. We had a great time playing in the pool and on the water slides. Then, as a good Forth of July evening, the kids took turns playing with sparklers before the real fireworks display. I, of course, had a great time playing with my camera.
The kids really had a great time and no one was hurt in the making of these photos. 
I admit I am getting this post up a bit late but I have an excuse as I was traveling last week with my husband on a business trip. I bet you can’t tell where we went:
This was taken at the sky bar at Mandalay Bay where the conference was being held. Beautiful view.
While we were there we had the opportunity to see some great entertainment. The last night we were in Vegas we attended a customer appreciation concert with some great Legends acts including this awesome cover band called Ultrasonic Rock Orchestra. I was only a few away from the stage with an awesome view and had a real blast getting some shots of them.
And they ended with an amazing live Bohemian Rhapsody. Spectacular.
Then the spotlight of the concert was Smash Mouth. They were super fun and rocked the house.
Yes I admit I over achieved this week posting a ton of photos. I was having too much fun being up close with my camera.
A wonderful Father’s Day weekend was had by all, camping and a Sunday BBQ. We love you Daddy!
Its HOT, finally. The hot and humid weather has finally started. This weekend was a scorcher in the 90s. We were invited to a birthday party for a friend of my 3 year old at the local park. Its a beautiful park with an awesome playground but the heat kept us in the pavillion eating watermelon.
Until the kids found the water spritzer. Ahhh…nice and cool with the warm breeze.
I am certainty not complaining as I love summer and have been quite cold this spring.
Lilies, my favorite flower, ever. I planted them all around my yard. I wait patiently for them to bloom and then they are gone as quickly as they came. These orange ones come up first and them my beloved star gazers. I love to shoot them each year, they never get boring.
Nice warm days have arrived and the kids are super excited to be outside splashing around in some super cold water. Until they start shivering and their lips turn blue. Yay summer!
At arms length. My son likes to pose with me.
A Triple Delight is one of my favorite dishes. But my version is three happy children with a the most beautiful evening light.
