A Few More From Lake Taneycomo

I like this shot..it was taken while we were cruising back to the dock

An action shot of another boat zooming past us

Fishing on Lake Taneycomo 06/17/09

After taking the Ride the Duck tour we followed Jen and Frank to their place. Man are there some really really curvy roads on the way to where they were staying.

They were about 10 minutes from us so it wasn't too bad.

After having a cookout, hamburger and hotdogs, Frank took Adam, Justin, Rachel and I out on his boat for about a 2 hour fishing adventure on Lake Taneycomo.

I don't fish so I just took a lot of pictures and soaked up the sun it was 93 degrees the

whole time we were in Missouri on our trip.

The kids started pointing out the window and I had just enough time to get this one shot of a woodpecker out the window. I wish I would have bought and extender before we left for our trip.

A lovely looking spider web under the deck of where Jen and Frank were staying
Adam and Justin were the first to catch a fish almost immediately after throwing in the pole


It was a little one so we let it go...we actually let all of them go
The Lake was so beautiful...even though it smelt really bad-fishy. I shot this with my fisheye.
Rachel caught the biggest fish on the smallest pole it was a spongebob fishing pole
She was really admiring her fish and was so excited that she caught the biggest one!

There were a bunch of great blue herons nesting in the trees. Could have used an extender!

Rachel was tired and put her feet up on the edge of the boat...I thought it made for a cute picture

I have a few more that I have to add borders to so I will post those a little later.

Ride the Ducks 06/17/09

Today we went on the Ride the Ducks ride. It was about a 70 minute tour through the Table Rock section. We saw alot of interesting sites while on this ride and everyone seemed to do really well. The kids loved Captain Stretch and the noisy duck blowers, but the best part was when we drove right into the lake they loved it!

Captain Stetch had us test out our quackers...

Lexie was the only one of our group that wanted to drive the boat while we were in the water

You can barely see but along the bottom edge are a bunch of military vehicles they look like

tiny toys compared to the mountain side.

Bella was trying out her quaker (:

Swim at the Pool 6/15/09

After exploring the caves we went back to the hotel to take a dip in the pool.

It is Rachel's favorite spot as she asks everyday "When are we going to the pool!"

We are staying at the Silver Leaf Resort

the pool is absolute beautiful and so clean..this resort has been the best by far

It rained for just a little while on 6/16/2009

this is a shot out our bedroom window.

Talking Rocks Cavern 06/15/09

Yesterday we went to go to the Branson Zoo and it was horrible there we didn't even go in.

It is amazing that places like that can stay open..so sad.

So we happened to drive by Talking Rocks Cavern and decided to check it out.

It was quite interesting however my neice Bella, who is 3, was not to happy

about the time we got to the very bottom of the cavern she started screaming!

It was a total of 265 steps. The other kids loved it.

Justin and his cousin Hunter really enjoyed exploring the caves..they are soo goofy!

5x30 Template

After sitting in a truck all day, I kid you not 12 hrs!

We are now in the hotel and everyone is asleep except for me.

While surfing my favorite forum I found a fellow photographer

in need of a 5x30 template so I thought I would lend a hand.

Below is a 5x30 template that holds 4 5x7 ratio photos.

You can change the background to whatever you would like

and delete the ribbon if you so choose.

Oh and don't forget to delete the top white layer!

Enjoy (:
