Sorry about the lack of posts. No excuse. Haven't felt "up" to writing.
Guess this new year didn't start off with a bang in the Halterhome.
Last week, before school and work resumed, we went up to Flagstaff to play in the snow. We went sledding and built a snowman and fort. Grace did most of the work, but she loved it.
She's very focused
Making it just right
Ta Da!
Cookies for eyes, a pretzel rod nose, and a smiley twig
The "fort"
I tried to take pictures that night with my iphone. As you may know, you have to use your actual fingertip to work the touchscreen camera. Well, at 7 degrees, my fingertip did not like being exposed in my fingerless gloves for very long. Once I could no longer feel anything, I bundled my fingertip back in, along with the other four, into a full coverage ski glove.
Then I tried to take a picture using my nose as a "fingertip."
Either the iphone is very perceptive or my nose was too cold to register as a "fingertip." In either case, I looked like a total dork and it did not work. I have not tried it again to see if it was a temperature issue. Anyone else tried taking photos with their nose???
Here's some snow pictures taken the usual way with my new fancy camera (how old will the camera be before I stop calling it my new camera?) and the frozen finger iphone pictures (the New Year's Eve photos).
Check out this humongous icicle Tom found!
Emmie joined us to sled on New Year's Day
New Year's Eve Pine Cone Drop 2009
There's the Pine Cone awaiting the countdown
Midnight (ten o'clock actually)!!
Notice the confettii?
Just like in Times Square minus Dick Clark
It was so cold I was shivering and the pictures were shakey.
Happy 2010!
