adam and colleen bbq-ing in style!

last night friends of ours invited our whole staff to a bbq outside of their building.  it was so nice.  we had a whole little bbq area, a couple tables, a grassy spot to sit, and lots of food and drinks!  many people from our school came, along with a few others and it was a great way to just relax and enjoy an evening with friends.

cindy likes the laser too!

at the bbq, one of the boys had a toy.  the boys all thought it was awesome.  i didn't really get it.  until i held it in my hand.  it was one of those laser pointer thingys that people use for presentations and stuff except this thing could shoot SUPER far!  like unbelievably far.  so, we all took turns playing with it and marveling at how far away it would shoot.  it doesn't sound exciting.  but it was.  i promise.

i also brought my camera because i wanted to practice taking pictures at night without a flash.  but i wasn't really thinking and i brought a lens that was not very good for night time.  the good news is that chris let me borrow his 35 mm lens and it was SO much fun to shoot with.  i got some pretty good night time shots with no flash and i think i learned a thing or two!
