Date with Daddy

Tonight was the ChickFilA Daddy Daughter Date night.  Time for Rachel to dress up and have dinner with her daddy.  There was chicken, the cow, photos by "you know who" and limo rides!  Fancy!

Rachel loves that cow!

Into the limo for a quick spin

And me...I spent my evening with my camera and the cow! :)

Color Us Rad!

Up and off early this morning to the Indiana State Fairgrounds for the Color Me Rad 5K.  A portion of the proceeds went to Special Olympics Indiana, but we mainly signed up for something fun to do as a family.  We joined up with hoards of people all decked out in white.  Blank canvases to get colored up with.

 

We took our place near the start and got going on our jog/walk. :)  There were 5 color stations spaced along the route.  Three of them where you got pelted with colored powder and 2 where they spayed you with colored water.  After a few stations we looked like this:

And by then end of our 3.1 miles we looked like this:

After we finished we hung around and snagged a few freebies that they were throwing out into the crowd.  Every 5-10 minutes people would their color packets and throw them up in the air for one huge cloud of color

We had a ton of colorful family fun.  Even Dusty (with his OCDness and dislike of getting dirty) survived. 

Bottom line....it was RAD! :)

Labor Day

The dicey weather cancelled my shoot today.  No rain, but tons of clouds...then sun....then clouds...forget it. Reschedule for a better day.  So instead here are some random shots from my backyard.

And my version of the pumpkin coffee blended frappe thingy that was on Pinterest.  The verdict:  not too bad...needed a bit of tweaking, but will definitely try again.
