Starting off on Friday night, I showed the wedding pictures I had taken a few weeks ago to the Bride's parents - the ones who hired me. Anyway, they really enjoyed looking at my shots and were very pleased that everything turned out well. The mom said she will tell everyone she shows the pictures to just who took them. I guess I'm getting my name out there...
Saturday held even more activities and adventures. That morning, dad and I went to the annual First Baptist Church 'Cruise-in' at the church. The parking lot was full of cars and people having a good time. Dad took his Corvette as well. My Cousin Daniel and his kids were there too. They enjoyed looking around and seeing all the neat cars.
After the car show, my parents and I headed to Huntsville Alabama to visit my brother and his family. We got there around 6:30 and hung out for a bit. The growing trend for my brother, dad and I seems to be going to the movies while visiting. So, this trip's movie of choice was Terminator Salvation - a 'shoot-em-up' flick that turned out to be kinda fun. It's nice seeing the references and continuing plot from the first three movies.
The reason for the trip was to see Abby, my brother's oldest, get baptized Sunday morning. Everyone including the in-laws were in attendance for the service. Everything was really nice.
I have come to realize one thing though...I need a bigger zoom lens for my camera.
My 18-55mm lens just doesn't reach far enough. I was having a hard time getting a good shot of Abby in the baptistery. The only question - what to buy... 70-300 maybe? Who knows...
Leaving the church, we all gathered at Michael's house for some lunch. We left there, starting our 3 hour trek back to Lenoir City. That evening at home, we said our good-byes to Daniel and his family who had been visiting for 3 weeks. They currently live in Japan but are soon moving to Hawaii. (Dan's in the Air Force)
So ended a pretty good weekend, justifying a post on blogger. ha!
