4th of July Fun

My brother and I had some fun setting off 2 whole packs of bottle rockets.

The Autumn of our Lives

When we reach the fall of our lives, we should notice the changes that surround us, enjoy the good and fix the bad.

"Lord give me the strength to change the things I can, courage to endure the things I can't and the wisdom to know the difference."

Darkest Days

There will always be those dark and stormy times in our lives when everything seems to be as bad as it gets. But if you know where to look and have the patience to wait for it, you'll see a shining ray of hope blasting through the darkness. Reminding us that there's light on the other side of those clouds and soon they'll blow by.

All that snow that's off to the right is actually ontop of a frozen river

This picture just seems to have it all, ice, snow, running water, a fallen tree. I couldn't help but want a picture of it.

A closer look

It all seems so pleacful

A beautiful start to the day.

For some reason this picture and the next one make me think of "Lion King"

Look at those romanian soldiers go

we got to fire thier weapons too. I also fired this sniper rifle, but there weren't any good pics of it.

they are quick learners
