New Camera

We've had a series of bad luck with cameras for about the past 5 years. The one I got before Ben was born finally wore out and wouldn't reliably turn on, the one Matt got for a gift would have memory problems and need to be reset at the most inconvenient times, and the new one I got for Christmas last year was baptized in the Indian ocean just a few weeks later and functions intermittently. We actually took all three cameras to Fiji last year just to make sure we got some decent pictures! Finally, I used some Christmas money from my parents to buy a new, reliable Nikon point and shoot and I've been so happy with it since it arrived last Friday.

Here are some of the cute pictures I've gotten...I'll spare you all the boring ones of me playing with different settings. I have yet to look at the manual and really learn how to make the most of the camera, but so far I've been really happy with it. Especially because it works 100% of the time!







It takes full HD videos....pretty cool for a little camera that fits in my pocket. And don't you love how Alex can turn something simple like coloring into a full-on body sport?

I had a great time taking pictures of a beautiful sunset this evening, too! Check out Ben taking pictures with his little camera.

Our favorite bench in the world :)

Looks like we have two budding photographers!

Thanks, Mom and Dad! I love the new camera and hope to share some wonderful pictures with it.
