Holiday gift idea - From the photographer - AdoramaPix

Parents are hard to shop for! They never NEED anything but you know you should always GET them something. So this year, My mother is getting a photo, but this one will be different, it'll be on metal! How cool is that, it's unique and will be exactly what she needs for that one spot on her wall she never knows what to do with it.

AdoramaPix helps people turn their digital photographs from abstract computer files into beautiful keepsakes designed to last a lifetime. Their contemporary metal prints capture memories in rich color and vibrant detail. Because your images are infused right into the metal, and not painted on the surface, their metal prints are extremely durable. Not only will your metal image be water and weather proof, but scratch resistant as well. You can even clean it with glass cleaner. Your memories deserve to live in true, archival luxury with AdoramaPix metal prints.

This past weekend we had a wonderful time camping. The weather wasn't very nice Friday night or Saturday morning, however my the afternoon I could use my grill and in the evening and Sunday morning we got to have a fire. So it was really nice for me to try out the new camping recipes I had been wanting to do.

Friday Dinner

Cheese and lemon broccoli

Crescent Rolls over the fire

Cake in an orange

Saturday Breakfast

Breakfast Burritos

Apple pancakes

Saturday Lunch

Cheesy Fries

Saturday Dinner

Potatoes packet meals

Cream cheese stuffed peppers

S’mores

StrawberryS’mores

Sunday Breakfast

We did change up some of the recipes and will add a different twist to them over the next few camping trips! But I can saw we ate well, and planning is going to be easier as we move along. This next weekend we will have the 4 youngest kids with us and that will change how we eat and prep our foods in advance.

Saturday Quiet

Dave and I get one weekend a month to ourselves. No kids, no rules, nothing for two nights.

It's our date weekend, our times to go to bed late, wake up early and not live on any one's schedule but our own.

So this morning, we got home around 4am, crawled into bed and woke up sometime around 10am. After tossing around the idea of what we were going to do with the rest of our day, he requested a picnic. Subway, drinks and sitting outside by one of our reservoirs and talking.

So we did.

We went the the reservior, got a yearly pass (which is a great idea if you have kids. A beach, playgrounds, fishing areas and boat rentals that only cost 24$ for 2 hours, how can you beat that?).

Of course I brought my camera, and got some amazing shots of our day!
