I'm in love....

....because my new camera took pictures like this for me today:

(BTW, this camera is GREAT--a Panasonic DMC-TZ5 with 10x zoom, 9 MP, and mad-crazy features...all of the pics below are completely unedited! It looks like I am right next to the boys in these shots, but I was super far away...and the pics turned out clear as could be!! Yaaaaaaaaay for finally getting a winner!)

"I don't know what this "pool" stuff is all about....I'm happy right here on my bike, thank you."

Daddy was the first to brave the water.....

....which apparently convinced Colin.....

...... and, in turn, Cameron......

.....and after hangin' out by the ladder for a little while (with the bike not too far from his grasp, of course)....

....Ethan was also persuaded!
Splashin' on the stairs

Lunchtime!

Col chomping his apple....not sure what he was saying, but it looks like I caught him mid-word

Ethan with his yummy baked Cheetos

(LOVE this picture--look at those eyes!)

Cam and his favorite, the "pee-buh-getty" (PB&J)--though you wouldn't know he was so happy with his lunch in this shot!

And back in we go!!

One, two, three, JUMP!

Cameron and his dinosaur

"I love this Daddy! Thanks for convincing me to come in after all!"

Daddy jumping over--yes, I said OVER--Col and Cam's heads!
"Wow, now that's pretty cool....."

Catch me Daddy!

And, as you can see, the pictures all came right back off the camera just like they were supposed to.
