READY SET GO...

if i had to sum up our last two weeks - the title would do it... and of course, it was a non-stop whirlwind of activities since the day we let out for vacations... but no complains... loved every minute of it...

and to make it even more memorable, the pic below is exactly what we've been doing this past week when everyone went back home...




not much of a mystery what the family has been doing huh? but the girls have enjoyed it and we've managed to survive hours of "LIFE" "BLOCKUS" "TROUBLE" and of course "TABOO"...


SETTINGS: Canon Digital Rebel XT with 24-70 f/2.8L lens and 420 flash

ISO - 1600, MANUAL MODE, AV -F/2.8, SS 1/100

Love the bright colors in these shots. We played some fun games over the Christmas break, too. Blokus was probably my favorite. Maybe because I won the first time I ever played!
