Weekend Rambles

Here's a little report from our weekend ...

Saturday The Grand Lunar (that's Particle Man to some of you lurkers - feel free to say hi) and I went down to Ann Arbor to pet the new iPhones at the grand opening of the newest Michigan Apple store. It was a fun date-day, we listened to 80's tunes and sang and laughed all the way down. The iPhones were fun, although it would've been nice to play with them longer ... we also petted several of the other sleek Apple products, such as the very nice 30" monitor. Ooooooh.

Here's the pix we took of each other with the iPhone cameras ... I forgot to do my cheesy camera smile, and am not fond the the pic, but oh well. I was listening to Particle 'splain stuff. I'm showing you because I thought the quality of the pix was great for a phone! Even at the full size 640x480 they looked very good, I was quite impressed. We took them and emailed them from the iPhone to ourselves from the store, that was fun. Notice I'm wearing blue. ;-) It was a nice date day.

Today the kids wanted to camp out in the back yard. They didn't seem to want or need parents actually camping, which is good. So my contribution was to put up the tent and photograph the event:

Here's a dorky pic of putting it up ... not my weekend for pix. Also, here's Buzz watching: He wanted to be nearby but not stay IN the tent. Not that he had that chance, overnight. He went down in his own bed nicely. :

The big kids peeking out:

It is now 11:30 and we've only had one tearful temporary visit from a camper who was scared, but not scared enough to be the only one to come in. I'm guessing they must be asleep now. And, although I'm not sleeping out there with them, I'm still staying closeby, I'll sleep on the futon by the back door with the screen door open, just in case.

Hope your weekend was as fun!
