Goodbye, Dad!
My dad was here from South Dakota (Black Hills area) for a week. We really enjoyed his visit! He is one of the greatest men I have ever known...so loving and kind...considerate of others and yet possesses a great sense of humor. The boys enjoyed their time with him. Dad got to meet Titan and fell in love with him! My dad can be reserved and is always well composed and put together (being a former Lt. Col. in the Army can do that to you!), but one night I caught him sprawled out on the floor rolling around and playing with Titan. Not a picture that I see often of my dad! It just cracked me up! Here is our going away picture..taken right before Dad said good-bye. He will be driving out of Alaska today and eventually down the whole Alaska Highway home to SD. We will miss him! I will post more pictures soon of our time together.
Nature Friend Magazine is a Christian-based magazine for kids that uses nature as a way to encourage kids to appreciate God's handiwork. The first thing I noticed about the magazine was the gorgeous photography! I am somewhat familiar with the work that goes into nature photography because my dad is very much into photographing animals. I would have to say that these photos are extremely impressive! There are several different features thoroughout the magazine that we enjoyed. Here are a few of them:
