A full day at Okoboji! We enjoyed Arnolds Park and their cute amusement park, and attended two sessions, before breakfast and dinner, to discover how to not put a mask on our faith.
(I had trouble choosing pictures)

Greg and Rob prepare for the first morning session.

My cabin enjoying a snug cabin time (small group/breakout)

Discovering a mirror maze in Arnolds Park

Trying to capture the tiltiness of the tilt house...



Swimming...? (It was raining ALL day and the water was Cold!)

Raiding the Sugar Shack!



The girls played monopoly for a couple hours during the rain (well, it never did stop raining today, but.)

Our wonderful kitcheners:
Julie, Mike, Cindy

We ended up going to Pizza Ranch for dinner tonight!

A typical meal/session setting, in a larger, old cabin. They are all getting torn down soon, and Jessamyne's (Greg's fiance) parents will build their dream cabin their!

Leeft for Okoboji today for the Identity Theft retreat with RHUMC, and guess what, Greg's friend Rob grew up in the circus! He juggled some flame for us at our little homework-burning bonfire. Only Kobe remembered his, so really we just ate s'mores.

Not much for composition, but Charley's eyes make up for what this picture lacks.

Not bad, eh?
Don't say no.

My portrait idea, though it hasn't completely worked yet.

Today was the Paideia 5K! The runners, besides parents, mostly consisted of first through third graders, the first graders for which I TA'd (teacher's assistant) their kindergarten class last year... Anyway Bella tagged me and said "you're it!" and ran off, so I was off on my mission to capture the first graders. Eventually Bella wanted to test my camera, and got the another's attention, and a little man captured this. This is what Bella described to be a "photobomb [ ;) ]."

Discovered some tiny flowers ("weeds") in our yard... Thought I'd get down on my stomach and try some macro. As macro as this kit lens gets. Otherwise, trust me, I'd get much closer.

It rained again... then it sunned!
The crabapple trees were glistening and everything was covered in drops!!
Finally caught a rainbow, but only by the tail... Not much color left by then.

(Personally, I think these are best viewed larger [click on one])

Of all the lovely pictures and faces I have today, I choose one taken in an "ooh look a plane" fashion. Nevertheless, it looks cool.
