A corn maze...

... and why you don't see many photos of Walter anymore.
It's because the minute a camera comes out, he does this:

Even if I'm not aiming at him he does this:

Once in a while I'll sneak one of these:

Or one of these:

But really, I'd rather enjoy the corn maze than chase him around trying to get a photo. It's more fun for all of us.



Eventually, I just handed him my camera. He took this - my mom and me:

Maybe he's just more comfortable being behind the camera. I'm familiar with that feeling.

The corn maze – Treinen Farm, in Lodi – was a lot of fun. Worth the trip!

Iceland 2014 - the final batch

You thought I was done with the vacation photos, didn't you? I've got just a few more to share today and that should wrap it up. We've got iceburgs and fishing birds. Stinky stinky mud pits, where we learned Walter's stomach can not handle the sulfur smell. A few waterfalls, including Dettifoss – huge and untamed. The eastern fjords; Walter on horseback; and a few shots from Reykjavik.

















I shared most but not ALL of my photos here on the blog. If you haven't seen enough, click here for the full Iceland album.

Hiking for grown-ups – Iceland 2014

A beautiful evening, and a long, kid-free hike, thanks to Gramma who kept the kids busy at the campsite. Waterfalls, rivers, mountains, and a glacier. Skaftafell seemed to be the place the Icelanders vacationed. I can see why.

Cousin pals - Iceland 2014

A football, sunshine, and a cousin/friend. What more does a kid need?
From our campsite at Skaftafell:









I love the way these two get along. They are about a year apart in age and are great at entertaining each other. Even on long drives in an RV.
