Summer is finally here…

June 19, 2008 – 8:30 am

My kids and I spent the last two afternoons at Cascade Bay water-park in Eagan, thanks to an awesome season pass christmas gift from my brother Mark & my SIL Karla. Thanks guys! Some photos from my waterproof camera to show what fun we all had.  

My dear daughter, above, showing off her famous ability to cross her eyes on command. I’m so proud. ;)

And, because I get *so many* emails from around the globe after I post an underwater photo, below is a link to the very affordable and fun point and shoot olympus that I use underwater! :) No, I don’t have an underwater housing for any of my pro cameras, just this fun little olympus, waterproof to 33ft, and lots of fun for boating or swimming! :)

 

 

Happy Summer!!

Wanted to share a fun new toy with my readers…

June 14, 2007 – 9:40 am

I wanted a small compact semi-inexpensive digital camera for bringing to the pool and beach this summer. I got the Olympus Stylus 770SW for just over $300 from Amazon. The coolest thing about it is that it can shoot underwater up to 33 feet down! Since I won’t be doing snorkeling here in Minneapolis, I took some test pool shots of two of my kids who love to swim underwater. Here they are:


If you are looking for a small tough & rugged little point & shoot for the summer, this one is so fun! Enjoy!
