Family Picture day

This morning we all went to Ha-Ha Tonka State Park to get family pictures taken. I'd rather do it in the fall when everything is pretty, but I'd be gone then, so we wanted to get some pix before I leave ;)
I don't have any of those pix, but I practiced my portrait shooting skills on myself, along with natural objects ;)
Here are a few of the pictures I took. Hope you enjoy! you can skip over the ones of me ;) hehe
The "castle" ruins
So there was this guy there with a kinda cool oldies car, and he let my mom sit in it to get her picture taken :) I go there too late to get a pic with her in it, but John, the guy taking our pix did :)
Two little butterflies posing for me 
The spring that supplied running water via a water tower to the house, stables, servant's quarters etc..
Three cute little girls ;) yes I called you a cute little girl Kristin.. hehe
This waterfall was actually like 300 feet down below where I was standing. I just zoomed in on it.
A swallowtail on a flower
A beautiful little glade up near the old water tower
Eric cried a lot when we were trying to get his picture, but he was all happy for me :D
Ok, here is the first of a bunch of pictures I took of myself. I just pushed the button and ran REALLY fast to get in the picture.. lol ok, so I had 10 seconds, but.. anyway.. lol
The water tower
Part of the Castle/mansion ruins
More of the same
Plain old boring me again
And again...
This one is cool because you can't see me!! j/k

That weird guy who kept letting me take his picture..
There he is again!
The BIG window!! lol
I really like this picture of me. I always look better when I'm not looking at the camera for some reason.. lol

Mark's Graduation Party

Yesterday (saturday the 28th) was Mark Hickle's graduation party. There were a lot of people there that I had not seen for a long time :) I had Meagan Reifer take a bunch of pictures with my camera :) thanks Meg! you got quite a few good ones! 
Here are a few of them..
Ok, This is a really interesting game calle "Buck-buck" where basically you try ot get a whole bunch of guys piled on top of some other guys.. it sounds weird but actually it was quite fun. :)
My darling little sister :)
Me being weird as usual.. but at least I'm not ever boring.. lol
I'm not sure what I was laughing about.. 
Umm... feet... yeah... I'm not sure, but it looks like a Joy or Anna Nisbett, and one of the Nail girl's feet.. lol interesting picture.. haha
