Weekend fun in the Rain

Arne loves his new camera and had great fun taking pictures of the kids having fun this weekend.

Liam got to play in the sandbox during a break from the rain.

Arne got to play with his prime f1.2 lens.

And then play with sepia settings.

It was raining a lot, so we headed out in raincoats, boots, and pajamas. Each kid carried their own roll of Ritz crackers. 

We went to the Hiller Aviation Museum and the kids had great fun exploring all the exhibits while Arne took lots and lots of pictures with his new camera and lenses.

The rainbow was very flat and low in the sky.  

Climbed the stairs in the 747.  

The kids had lots of fun puddle jumping.

Arne set the shutter speed to 1/2000 to capture the water droplets in the air. 

Tahoe 2015

We went to Tahoe Super Bowl weekend as we've done for the last few years (2014, 2013), even though we knew there would be no snow. We took our family picture in the middle of the sledding hill, but most of the pictures are like the next ones. 

Arne brought his new camera and captured many wonderful pictures of the kids enjoying Tahoe.   

Elsa loved sledding - she said it was very fast.  She carried her saucer up the hill and would go down holding my hand or by herself.  It was a lot of fun.

  

We stopped in Truckee on our way back. It has a great old downtown. A train went by and Arne pulled out his camera and captured many great shots and the kids cheered on the train. This picture of the train came out super sharp. In the full size picture it's easy to read the little decals on the front of the train. Arne loves his new camera and I love all the pictures!  

When we stopped in Berkeley to pick up Summer dog, Elsa climbed the apple tree.

If you open up this picture full size you can see a wonderful expression of joy on her face.

We had a wonderful trip and hope next year there will be more snow!
